That doesn't really answer the question. Those services basically work the same way as Google's geolocation API, but they're somehow able to magically get better accuracy.

Google's cellular geolocation implementation is probably unmaintained & all their focus is on WiFi+GPS+Fusion via SLAM.

be the best, and there's no way a trivial method can outperform it.
Have you considered that google might just perform poorly compared to other methods?
