increased performance in challenging environments and faster
position acquisition than using GPS only. However, using
multiple systems can reduce battery life more quickly than using
GPS only.
Your device can use these Global Navigation Satellite Systems
(GNSS). Some satellite systems may not be available for all
device models.
