Cell ID With network (cell ID) based positioning, Maps locates you
through the cellular system your phone is currently connected to.
The availability and quality of GPS signals may be affected by your location, satellite
positions, buildings, natural obstacles, weather conditions, and adjustments to GPS
satellites made by the United States government. GPS signals may not be available
inside buildings or underground.
Do not use GPS for precise location measurement, and never rely solely on the
location info provided by GPS and cellular networks.
Depending on the available positioning methods, the accuracy of positioning may
vary from a few metres to several kilometres.
Switch positioning methods off
To save on data costs, especially when abroad, you can switch off assisted GPS (A-
GPS), Wi-Fi, or network (cell ID) positioning.

Working out your location may take much longer, the location can be more inaccurate,
and the GPS receiver can lose your location more frequently.
