I have a question about the geolocation API - watchPosition. -> watchPosition(showLocaiton, ErrorHandler, options) What's the difference between 'enableHighAccuracy:true' and 'enableHighAccuracy:false' in the value about 'options' of watchPosition()? If position is reported by Network based (wifi/cell-based) service when enableHighAccuracy is set to false, Can the App use the position ? Or should enableHighAccuracy be set to 'false' in order that use the position to be reported by Network based positioning ?

enableHighAccuracy is a parameter that can be taken into consideration by whatever geolocation provider ends up servicing the request. There is no way to tell whether using the parameter caused a more accurate position to be returned or not.
