SCENARIO
Wi-Fi geolocation counts only solves where GPS is unavailable and the watch falls back to Wi-Fi positioning. Google bills each service on its own SKU and resets the free tier every calendar month, so the annual figure is 12× a constant month. The WGS discount is applied to the combined monthly Google spend across all three services and shown as a blended effective rate. Figures are USD estimates for planning — verify against Google Maps Platform pricing and your WGS contract.

Basis for defaults · field data
Based on data from 17–25 July, 879 devices reported location data, generating 107,038 Wi-Fi-based location pings and 363,185 GPS-based location pings. On average, each device recorded approximately 852 Wi-Fi locations per month and 2,907 GPS locations per month. The Geolocation default above uses the 852 Wi-Fi figure — GPS-resolved solves aren't billed.
