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. GPS signals may
not be available inside buildings or
underground and may be impaired by
materials such as concrete and metal.
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.
The trip meter has limited accuracy, and
rounding errors may occur. Accuracy can
also be affected by availability and quality
of GPS signals.
Note: Using Wi-Fi may be
restricted in some countries. For example,
in France, you are only allowed to use Wi-
Fi indoors. For more information, contact
your local authorities.

last known position.
If only cell ID based positioning is
available, a red halo around the
positioning icon indicates the general
area you might be in. In densely populated
areas, the accuracy of the estimate
increases, and the red halo is smaller than
in lightly populated areas.
