4<p>Contains the framework API classes that define Android location-based and related services.</p>
5<p class="note">
6    <strong>Note:</strong> The Google Location Services API, part of Google Play
7    Services, provides a more powerful, high-level framework that automates tasks such as
8    location provider choice and power management. Location Services also provides new
9    features such as activity detection that aren't available in the framework API. Developers who
10    are using the framework API, as well as developers who are just now adding location-awareness
11    to their apps, should strongly consider using the Location Services API.
