No as not all of the platforms allow you to make a distinction between the
WiFi locations and the GPS, so on platforms that do (like Android) we're
hiding the details from you.

The numbers you are seeing after it has lost its signal are most likely
from the wifi location system, you can filter out positions that are
too inaccurate for your use based on Position.Accuracy.
