About assisted GPS (A-GPS)
Your device supports A-GPS (network service). When you activate A-GPS, your device
receives useful satellite information from an assistance data server over the cellular
network. With the help of assisted data, your device can obtain the GPS position faster.
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.
You must have an internet access point defined in the device to retrieve assistance data
from the Nokia A-GPS service over a packet data connection.
