There are 3 choices on my phone, VZW location services, Standalone GPS services, and Google location services. Do all 3 of these do the same thing, whereas I just pick one, or do they all need to be turned on?
thank you in advance!!

#1. VZ location services: GPS services assisted by the cell tower and backend VZW infrastructure (it gets your location via the physical location of the cell tower, CDMA 1X GPSASSIST (gpsOne Qualcomm marketing).
This is similar to traditional phones GPS.
#2. Stand-alone location services: GPS direct from the US Military satellite (like a independent GPS device, aka GPS Navigator for your phone), 0% reliance on the cell network for GPS assistance.
#3. Similar to #1 but replace the company with Google.
