About positioning methods
Maps displays your location on the map
using GPS, A-GPS, or cell ID based
positioning.
The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a
satellite-based navigation system used
for calculating your location. Assisted GPS
(A-GPS) is a network service that sends you
GPS data, improving the speed and
accuracy of the positioning.
When you use Maps for the first time, you
are prompted to define an internet access
point to download map information or
use A-GPS.
indicates the availability of
the satellite signals. One bar is one
satellite. When the device is searching for
satellite signals, the bar is yellow. When
there is enough data available to calculate
your location, the bar turns green. The
more green bars, the more reliable the
location calculation.
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.
