Positioning
You can use applications such as Maps and GPS data to
find out your location, or measure distances and
coordinates. These applications require a GPS connection.
About GPS
The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a worldwide radio
navigation system that includes 24 satellites and their
ground stations that monitor the operation of the
satellites.
Your device has an internal GPS receiver.
The Global Positioning System (GPS) is operated by the
government of the United States, which is solely
responsible for its accuracy and maintenance.
The accuracy of location data can be affected by
adjustments to GPS satellites made by the United States
government and is subject to change with the United
States Department of Defense civil GPS policy and the
Federal Radionavigation Plan. Accuracy can also be
affected by poor satellite geometry. Availability and
quality of GPS signals may be affected by your location,
buildings, natural obstacles, and weather conditions.
The GPS receiver should only be used outdoors to allow
reception of GPS signals.
Any GPS should not be used for precise location
measurement, and you should never rely solely on location
data from the GPS receiver and cellular radio networks for
positioning or navigation.
Assisted GPS
Assisted GPS (A-GPS) is used to retrieve assistance data
over a packet data connection, which assists in calculating
the coordinates of your current location when your device
is receiving signals from satellites.
Your network operator may charge you for this connection
according to your network subscription. Contact your
service provider for the correct internet access point and
charges related to the service.
To enable or disable a positioning method, such as A-GPS,
select > Settings > Phone sett. > General >
Positioning > Positioning methods, the positioning
method, and Enable or Disable.
Your device is preconfigured to use the Nokia A-GPS
service, if no service provider-specific A-GPS settings are
available. The assistance data is retrieved from the Nokia
A-GPS service server only when needed.
