Google maps program can find our location even the gps is off.Can we use this feature from b4a?

It uses network signal to detect your location but it's not exact enough to get latitude & longitude.

This is currently not supported.

How are the chances, that it will be supported in the near future ?

Do you think it is possible to do this by an external library, which surely has to be written first by a Java crack.

This feature can be added as an external library.
I do not know when it will be available.

In the version 1.1 of the WiFi library a location function was added.

Many thanks to alwaysbusy.
