determine its location. If it is successful, the new

Enhancing GPS Performance

Sometimes the GPS feature of your phone may be
unable to complete a location calculation successfully.
If this happens when you are making an emergency
122 Section 2F. Tools
call, the location of the nearest cell tower in contact
with your phone is made available to the appropriate
emergency response center if the center has the
capability to receive such information. If this happens
when you are trying to view your location on the
phone's display, you will see a message indicating that
your phone cannot access satellites.
To improve accuracy and increase your chances of a
successful calculation, do the following while your
phone is determining your approximate location:
Stay in the open. The GPS feature works best where
there is nothing between your phone and a large
amount of open sky. If possible, go outside, away
from tall buildings and foliage. While performance in
a building is improved by moving closer to windows,
glass with certain sun shielding films may block
satellite signals.
Hold your phone to enhance reception.
satellites are transmitted to your GPS antenna, which
is in your phone antenna. Hold your phone away
from your body, giving the antenna clear access to
satellite signals. Do not cover the antenna area with
your fingers or anything else.
