Windows 8 & Location services?

Does ESET plan on utilizing MS's api for geolocation? I have a broadband ready laptop (Sierra mc7700 .. nice module, btw.) It can use GPSa as far as I can tell.

Reason I ask is when I ping the test for anti-theft it comes back with an error. I have line of sight to enough satellites to get a lock.

Color me confused. Is is something I am doing wrong?

 

also .. Any chance of intel Anti-theft integration?

 

Hello,

I do not believe it is currently used. For one thing, if a user were to disable location services globally, that could reduce the accuracy of ESET's anti-theft solution. However, it might be useful as a supplement to the existing location technologies used by ESET.

Your feature request has been passed on to ESET's project management for consideration in a future release.

Just trying to figure out why geo ip isn't pinging on my Win8 Thinkpad. Well a fix, rather. Its weird.

edit: nvm. needed to approve the test mode on the desktop. That seems a bit redundant, yes?
