<p>Contains the framework API classes that define Android location-based and

	related services.</p>

<p class="warning">

<strong>This API is not the recommended method for accessing Android location.</strong><br>

The

<a href="https://developers.google.com/android/reference/com/google/android/gms/location/package-summary">Google Location Services API</a>,

part of Google Play services, is the preferred way to add location-awareness to

your app. It offers a simpler API, higher accuracy, low-power geofencing, and

more. If you are currently using the android.location API, you are strongly

encouraged to switch to the Google Location Services API as soon as

possible.

<p>Contains framework API classes for accessing a variety of location related services.</p>

<p class="note"><strong>Note:</strong> The

<a href="https://developers.google.com/android/reference/com/google/android/gms/location/package-summary">Google Location Services APIs</a>,

part of Google Play services, is the preferred way to access location services for apps. These APIs

are both simpler to use and offer more capabilities as compared to the traditional Android location

APIs found here. They also offer new services, such as low-power geofencing, activity recognition,

and more. Clients of the traditional Android location APIs are encouraged to switch to the Google

Location Services APIs wherever possible.
