Hi,

I am surprised how google maps was able to track my location, with few
meters of error, by using the "Share Location" feature.

It is not clear how they are tracking the location with such accuracy.
For sure is not using the IP.
Did you have called GPS (Global Positioning System) enabled? I'm pretty
sure "Share Location" turns on GPS.


No. I did everything using my notebook and no GPS was connected to it.
Possibly they use GPS too, on devices with this functionality, but was not my case.
