+ <title>What are the information sent</title>
+ <p>
+ What is possible to send is: your country, region, locality, area, street, building,
+ floor, room, and postal code, longitude, latitude and altitude, speed and bearing.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ The accuracy and the quantity of information about your geographical position are based
+ on the software or on the infrastructure used to discover your position.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Different kind of networks may have different accuracy settings, and may send
+ different information. The use of external devices such as GPS or mobile phone
+ will increase the accuracy of the information sent.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ When the privacy mode is enabled, nothing more precise than your city will be
+ sent, even if you are using an external device.
