Hello Guys...
I m able to use Location Services in my app and getting location.
But my problem is i want to know that Which provider is providing the location ie. longitude and lattitude to me ie its by GPS or Wi-Fi or Cellular Radio.
Please guide me to come out from this problem.

Hi!
Basicly this is controlled by the service layer and you cannot know exactly what source of data you have in each moment.
Based on the value of GeoPositionAccuracy passed to the constructor of GeoCoordinateWatcher is more possible to use the GPS.
If you use GeoPositionAccuracy.Default it only use the GPS if no other source is available, if use GeoPositionAccuracy.High it use the GPS in conjunction with wifi, cellular and a Microsoft location service.

Thanks josueyeray

ok i get ur point. Now just tell me one more thing...is it possible in location service in windows phone that Location service dont use "Microsoft Location service" in case if no other medium getting location is available.
I just want to keep only GPS, cellular and Wi-Fi.

You dont have a method to exclude the use of the microsoft location services, but i think the location services serve mainly for additional data like proximity to Points of interest and this such of things...
