   I'm confused. If you don't want to include more than GPS for   
   geolocation, why enable high accuracy mode which includes wi-fi hotspots   
   and cell towers?   
      
   High accuracy: GPS + networks   
   Battery saving: networks only   
   Device sensors only: GPS only <-- This isn't what you want, so you can   
    spoof it?   
      
   Those are my settings. In your reply to Andy, seems you don't get to   
   choose other than On and Off for geo accuracy. Turning off seems to be   
   the same as "device sensors only" for me which only using GPS. However,   
   one the last screenshot but one, looks like you have wi-fi scanning off.   
   With wi-fi scanning off, does it get forced on if you enable high   
   accuracy mode?   
      
   Are you trying to using GPS + cell towers while omitting wi-fi hotspots?   
   Not sure Android has that option, but I haven't use lots of brands of   
   smartphones to be sure.
