"Use GPS satellites" and "Use wireless networks" whats the differnece between the two. Also which drains more battery i just want my weather and sports widgets to work, any help
 
If you don't need to know exactly where you are, just use wireless networks. It uses cell phone tower triangulation to find a radius of where you could be (of course you'll still be in the correct town). Using GPS satellites will track you within a few meters, which is more useful for Navigation.

Using the actual GPS drains battery much more than using wireless networks for a falsetto GPS.
