If you select High accuracy, your tablet can find your exact position using GPS satellites, the mobile network and nearby Wi-Fi networks. Satellite-based GPS requires a clear view of the sky.
If you select Battery saving, your tablet can find your approximate position using the mobile network and nearby Wi-Fi networks.
If you select Tablet only, your tablet can find your exact position but it may take longer as there is no access to supplementary information from nearby mobile or Wi-Fi networks.
