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

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.

In the version 1.1 of the WiFi library a location function was added.
Quote: 'It uses the Wifi signal and GSM Triangulation to get the latitude and longitude of the device without an active GPS.'

Many thanks to alwaysbusy.
