GPS and Other Satellite Systems
Using GPS and another satellite system together offers 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.
GPS: A satellite constellation built by the United States.
