GPS The global positioning system (GPS) is a navigation system that
uses satellites to work out where you are.
A-GPS The Assisted GPS (A-GPS) network service retrieves location
information using the cellular network, and assists GPS in
calculating your current location.
Wi-Fi Wi-Fi positioning improves positioning accuracy when GPS signals
are not available, especially when you are indoors or between tall
buildings.
You can also switch Wi-Fi and cellular positioning off in your phone
settings.
Cell ID With network (cell ID) based positioning, your phone locates you
through the cellular system your phone is currently connected to.
A-GPS and other enhancements to GPS may require transferring small amounts of
data over the cellular network. If you want to avoid data costs, for example when
travelling, you can switch the mobile data connection off in your phone settings.
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.
Note: Using Wi-Fi may be restricted in some countries. For example, in France, you
are only allowed to use Wi-Fi indoors. After 1 July 2012, the restriction on outdoor
usage of Wi-Fi in France is withdrawn by the EU. For more information, contact your
local authorities.
Depending on the available positioning methods, the accuracy of positioning may
vary from a few metres to several kilometres.
