:# ''Network only'': tries to acquire position from network provider. Network provider is usually fast in acquiring a new position but it is not much accurate, especially using data connection. Wi-Fi connection seems to guarantee higher precision.
:# ''Network only'': tries to acquire position from network provider. Network provider is usually fast in acquiring a new position but it is not much accurate, especially using data connection (range from 1Km to 2Km, depending on antennas deployment), the service is not available all around the world. Wi-Fi connection seems to guarantee much higher precision due to a correlation between last known position acquired from GPS.
:# ''GPS only'': tries to acquire position from GPS provider. GPS provider is usually slow in acquiring a new position, time depends on several factors such as how much time has elapsed since last position, number of satellites in free view (inside buildings can be really had to get a position).

:# ''Network and GPS'': tries to acquire a position from Network provider or GPS provider, the first one that gives a position is considered ok. There is no special algorithm to evaluate accuracy, the unique criteria is the speed of the fix.

If the agent is not able to get a new fix within the time-frame specified, it will try to gather a position from any available provider that has a valid cached position to provide.
 
Please note that on 2G networks (GPRS/EDGE) data connection is not available while you are busy in a conversation, position acquisition will fail. On 3G networks (UMTS/HSxPA) data connection is available and so the position acquisition. However, if the agent is not able to get a new fix within the time-frame specified, it will try to gather a position from any available provider that has a valid cached position to provide.

''Toast notification'': when set allows the agent to display “toast” notifications to the user (such as pushing data to the server, inform user about the start of the agent, etc.).
