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.
The GPS of this device is not for professional positioning. GPS connection time might
also be affected by weather, use environment, and other condition of use. GPS should
only be used as a navigation aid and should not be used for emergency or task which
requires more precise positioning.
Note: Using WLAN may be restricted in some countries. For example, in France, you
are only allowed to use WLAN indoors. After 1 July 2012, the restriction on outdoor usage
of WLAN in France is withdrawn. For more info, contact your local authorities.
Depending on the available positioning methods, the accuracy of positioning may vary
from a few metres to several kilometres.
