Bug Description

"Use your mobile network and Wi-Fi to work out where you are"
  should probably be:
"Use your mobile network and Wi-Fi to determine your location"

I'm not a native speaker, but other folks agree "work out" is slightly out of place and doesn't fit that sentence well.

Question - did we get someone from design to proof read the contents of the welcome wizard?

Thanks!

I agree this is not normal phrasing, definitely prefer "determine" over "work out"

Yes, I do. But it looks like the document isn't completed.
Here it is:

Hope it helps.
