Location services lets apps such as Maps and third-party location-based apps gather and

in a form that personally identies you. Your approximate location is determined using
available information from local Wi-Fi networks (if you have Wi-Fi turned on).

Every app that uses location services appears in the Location Services settings screen,
showing whether location services is turned on or o for that app. appears for each
app that has requested your location within the last 24 hours. You can turn location
services o for some or for all apps, if you don’t want to use this feature. If you turn
location services o, you’re prompted to turn it on again the next time an app tries to
use this feature.

If you have third-party apps on iPod touch that use location services, review the third
party’s terms and privacy policy to understand how that app uses your location data.
To conserve battery life, turn location services o when you’re not using it.
