About positioning methods
Maps displays your location on the map
using GPS, A-GPS, Wi-Fi, or network (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.
Wi-Fi network positioning improves
position accuracy when GPS signals are
not available, especially when you are
indoors or between tall buildings.
With network (cell ID) based positioning,
the position is determined through the
antenna system your cellular phone is
currently connected to.
When you use Maps for the first time, you
are prompted to define the internet access
point to use to download map
information, use A-GPS, or connect to a
Wi-Fi network.
To avoid network service costs, you can
disable A-GPS, Wi-Fi, and network (cell ID)
based positioning in your device
positioning settings, but calculating your
location may take much longer. For more
information about positioning settings,
see the user guide of your device.
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 information provided by GPS and
cellular networks.
The trip meter may not be accurate,
depending on the availability and quality
of your GPS connection.
Depending on the available positioning
methods, the accuracy of positioning may
vary from a few metres to several
kilometers.
