Positioning (GPS)

You can use applications such as GPS data to find out your
location, or measure distances and coordinates. These
applications require a GPS connection.

About GPS

The Global Positioning System (GPS) is operated by the
government of the United States, which is solely responsible
for its accuracy and maintenance. The accuracy of location
data can be affected by adjustments to GPS satellites made
by the United States government and is subject to change
with the United States Department of Defense civil GPS policy
and the Federal Radionavigation Plan. Accuracy can also be
affected by poor satellite geometry. Availability and quality
of GPS signals may be affected by your location, buildings,
natural obstacles, and weather conditions. GPS signals may
not be available inside buildings or underground and may be
impaired by materials such as concrete and metal.
GPS should not be used for precise location measurement,
and you should never rely solely on location data from the
GPS receiver and cellular radio networks for positioning or
navigation.
The trip meter has limited accuracy, and rounding errors may
occur. Accuracy can also be affected by availability and quality
of GPS signals.
The coordinates in the GPS are expressed using the
international WGS-84 coordinate system. The availability of
the coordinates may vary by region.
