Programmer: How do i track users location?
Google: Use fused location provider

scorpionk453281d@heyheni They may have top class developers working for them. But they seriously need to work on documentation team.
Google documentation sucks!
Lack of practical examples. They show us very simple example like clicking on button and then straight away redirect to API docs.
Wait, let me at least understand how things fit in together.
Me: Hey google where is step by step guide, at least for setup?
Google: We don't do that here!
