Hey, referring to This Erel Topic and using the FusedLocationProvider I would like to get latitude and longitude coordinates without asking the user for gps permissions.

Unfortunately @Erel project require gps permission to be used.

I wonder if that's a way to do it without gps.
Thanks

Not perfect, but maybe something like:

https://ipapi.co/

Although in my case here, it returns the location of my ISP's head office, which is only 900 km away.

Looking on the bright side: at least it's got the right country and hasn't plonked me at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Null_Island.

The terms are inaccurate. There is no such things as GPS permission. There are fine and coarse location permissions. As their names suggest it is not possible to get the device location without these permissions.
