GPS on Tab A SM-T290

Where in Settings can I turn GPS on or off?

@feraltek: To enable GPS please swipe from the top of your Home Screen to the bottom and tap 'Location' so it becomes highlighted, and repeat this action when you want to switch it off.

I thought Location was just to permit location info, usually via cell trangulation unless GPS is enabled. Other Android phones and tablets I've used have a separate facility to turn GPS on & off.

Enabling Location on the device provides GPS features for supported apps via Wi-Fi or Mobile Data.

So the choice of which is in use, that was available in previous Tabs and phones, has been lost in this one. That's the second function I've found that's been discointed. Wonder what else.
