permit such tracking and monitoring should avoid using
such applications.
Your phone uses the Automatic Location Information
(ALI) feature, along with AGPS satellite signals, to tell
the network where you are physically located.
Note:
ALI may not work in all locations and may not be
available due to network, environmental, or
interference issues.
When ALI is set to

On

phone arrives in), services may use your known
location to provide useful information (for example,
driving directions, or the location of the nearest bank).

asks for your location. You can refuse at this point.

AGPS limitations & tips
Your phone uses Assisted Global Positioning
System (AGPS) satellite signals to estimate your
location. If your phone cannot find strong satellite
signals, your AGPS might be slower, less accurate, or it
might not work at all. AGPS provides only an
approximate location, often within 150 feet (45 meters)
but sometimes much farther from your actual location.
To improve AGPS accuracy:
•
Go outside and away from underground
locations, covered vehicles, structures with
metal or concrete roofs, tall buildings, and
foliage. Indoor performance might improve if
you move closer to windows, but some
window sun shielding films can block satellite
signals.
