- Is there a way to set my current location manually on Windows 8? 3 answers
I've found that some Windows 8 programs such as Weather and Maps can be granted permission to access my physical location. However, I couldn't find a place to define this. Windows currently seems to guess it from my IP address or something like that.
I can tell the Weather application what my location is, but I would prefer to make use of the information being centralised and provided by the OS for convenience.

My Current Gps Location
There are a number of ways to determine your approximate or semi-exact location, depending on the device in question.
For Desktop computers, the location is probably determined (grossly) via IP geo-location services like any of these.
For mobile/wireless devices, you may be located by:
Qualcomm Add Enable Diag New Method for Qualcomm Devices. Qualcomm Improve Auto Detection for Qualcomm Devices. Miracle box 2.82 crack full version 2019 free. Qualcomm Add Reset EFS Security without Root.
- The tower you are presently connected through (much like IPgeo-location above)
- By correlating your WiFi with a known networklike those collected by Google during their well publicizedsurvey
- by GPS location data passed from the devices sensors/radios to the application in question.
This last one is the most precise, sufficient for turn by turn directions, and even finding which room in the house you lost your phone.
In your case, assume its IP geo-location unless your device has a GPS radio. Windows 8 is designed to work on desktops, tablets, and phones, so many of the devices have GPS capabilities. Usually the location permission features deal with whether GPS location access is enabled or not on a global level, rather than app by app, just as you suggest, but since you likely don't have GPS capabilities in your device the Win8 settings will not be meaningful (since you can't tell most apps not to look up your location by IP).
