Hi,

there are surely other methods than GPS, but I don't find them. Are there any libraries?

Thank you

There are commercial services such as SkyHookWireless or Combain, and non-commercial ones like Mozilla's, which is at https://location.services.mozilla.com/

Though there is an API for Mozilla's, the site suggests you may have to jump through some hoops to get there.

You can also use HTML5 geolocation in a webview, though you'd then have to get the results from that webview back to your app.

Thank you all, tthis was helpful. Do you have any idea on how to raise the accuracy to 1 meter or less? Beacons?
