>                 Key: CB-8523
>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-8523
>             Project: Apache Cordova
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: Plugin Geolocation
>            Reporter: Kriszti=C3=A1n Sch=C3=A4ffer
>              Labels: Triaged, ios

> According to my tests and to what I see in the source the GPS is almost a=
lways used even when enableHighAccuracy is set to false.
> The w3 spec says ( http://dev.w3.org/geo/api/spec-source.html#high-accura=
cy ) about enableHighAccuracy that:
> "The intended purpose of this attribute is to allow applications to infor=
m the implementation that they do not require high accuracy geolocation fix=
es and, therefore, the implementation can avoid using geolocation providers=
 that consume a significant amount of power (e.g. GPS)."
> But the plugin uses kCLLocationAccuracyNearestTenMeters which is not a go=
od choice for implementing that. There is hardly a low-power (non-GPS) meth=
od available which can provide 10 meters accuracy.
> The TODO comment also says that this is "arbitrary": https://github.com/a=
pache/cordova-plugin-geolocation/blob/master/src/ios/CDVLocation.m#L156
> I suggest using kCLLocationAccuracyThreeKilometers. Any other constant wi=
ll lead to GPS usage in rural environments when the wifi is off.
