Bug description:
  First boot welcome wizard in location sections claims GPS is less accurate than network based location service from HERE.
  While this can be theoretically true in some insane corner case, in normal life GPS is far more accurate.

  To help form correct text here are main differences.

  GPS - more accurate, but slow to acquire fix, does not work indoors,
  drains battery more, no need for internet connection, does not send
  any data out.

  Network based location - almost instant to get coarse location, works
  indoors, accuracy depends on network coverage in the area, more power
  efficient, requires internet connection. To get location data about
  visible GSM network and wifi networks needs to be send to 3rd party
  server.

  tested on krillin vivid-proposed r107
