Location services

There are two ways to find your location, using Mobile networks or GPS technology. Mobile
networks technology determines your position fast but accuracy may vary. If you use GPS
technology it may take a little longer, but it will find your exact position. You can enable
both Mobile networks and GPS to benefit from both technologies when trying to find your
position.

GPS

Your phone has a GPS receiver that uses satellite signals to calculate your location. Some
GPS features use the Internet. Data rates and charges may apply.
When you use features that require the GPS receiver to find your location, make sure you
have a clear view of the sky. If the GPS receiver does not find your location after a few
minutes, you should move to another location. To help the search, stand still and do not
cover the GPS antenna. The first time you use the GPS it may take up to 10 minutes before
your location is found.
If you cannot use some GPS features, see I cannot use Internet-based services on page 94.
Sony Ericsson does not warrant the accuracy of any location services including but not limited
to navigational services.
