Document network location provider setting #8

Trying out UnifiedNLP, I was wondering why I wasn't getting any location updates – until I tried enabling the network location provider in System Settings.

You might want to document that this setting needs to be enabled – as the description explicitly refers to Google's services, it's not immediately obvious that it applies to UnifiedNLP.

Where is this setting?

Prior to KitKat, the setting is in Settings > Location access > Wi-Fi & mobile network location. The explanation reads: Let apps use Google's location service to estimate your location faster. Anonymous location data will be collected and sent to Google.

This explanation confused me – but the setting enables not only Google's location service, but also UnifiedNLP.

On KitKat, it is less confusing: in Settings > Location > Mode. High accuracy or Battery saving will work, Device only will not. No misleading mention of Google services, but with neither gapps nor UnifiedNLP on the device you might never have noticed you need this setting.
