        Does Android inside Waydroid have access to the GPS sensor even when the location detection in UT is set to 'off'?
        I noticed Google Maps was able to get a fix, even when I turned off location detection. It was at a highway outside of town, therefore I don't think the fix was a result of Google Location services

          @WillemHexspoor Was the fix accurate? If not, then it was probably a cached location or some such.

            @arubislander The fix is accurate. Google maps navigation is providing correct location, when driving on the freeway with no nearby wifi networks.

              @WillemHexspoor Then I don't know the answer to your question, as I don't use waydroid.
