Travel and maps

Using location services

Location services allow applications such as Maps and the camera to use information
from Wi-Fi® networks as well as Global Positioning System (GPS) information to
determine your approximate location. If you're not within a clear line of sight to GPS
satellites, your device can determine your location using the Wi-Fi® function.
In order to use your device to find out where you are, you need to enable location
services.
To Enable or Disable Location Services
1
From your Home screen, tap
2
Find and tap Settings > Location, then tap the on-off switch accordingly to enable
or disable location services.
3
If you selected to enable location services in step 2, tap Agree to confirm.
Improving GPS accuracy
The first time you use the GPS function in your device, it can take 5 to 10 minutes for
your location to be found. To help the search, make sure you have a clear view of the
sky. Stand still and don't cover the GPS antenna (the highlighted area in the image). GPS
signals can pass through clouds and plastic, but not through most solid objects such as
buildings and mountains. If your location isn't found after a few minutes, move to another
location.
Google Maps™ and navigation

Airplane mode

In Airplane mode, the network and radio transceivers are turned off to prevent
disturbance to sensitive equipment. However, you can still play games, listen to music,
watch videos and other content, as long as all this content is saved on your memory
card or internal storage. You can also be notified by alarms, if alarms are activated.
Turning on Airplane mode reduces battery consumption.
