CompTIA A+ Core 1 (220-1201) — Question 139

A user is having trouble with the location services on their smartphone. Location-based applications show incorrect positions when the user is traveling. This issue affects the user's ability to navigate and use location-dependent applications. Which of the following is the best way to resolve this issue?

Answer options

• A. Downloading a third-party mapping application
• B. Resetting the network settings
• C. Enabling Wi-Fi to assist GPS
• D. Restarting the smartphone

Correct answer: C

Explanation

Enabling Wi-Fi to assist GPS improves location accuracy by allowing the device to use Wi-Fi networks for triangulation, which complements GPS signals. Downloading a third-party mapping application may not address the root issue with location services. Resetting network settings could disrupt other network configurations, and simply restarting the smartphone may not resolve the underlying GPS accuracy problem.
