As you say, it’s a method to get a coarse location and then refined using GPS which by the way does not really take time to acquire once you have downloaded the almanac and have the coarse location.

So this ‘allows applications to track location’ actually allows applications to track coarse location which then does not allow them to refine using GPS.

10-meter accuracy is not coarse location. Even for a single router the Wi-Fi range gives street-level address.

I’d say city level position (a good case of reverse IP mapping) is a coarse location.
