Network Positioning; About Gps - Nokia 5530 XpressMusic User Manual

Network positioning

You can use the mobile network to determine your current location, even indoors.
This is faster but less accurate than with GPS, and you cannot use the location as a
starting point for navigation.
To use the mobile network for positioning, select the network-based positioning
method from the device settings.

About GPS

To use GPS, you need a compatible GPS receiver. Use Bluetooth connectivity to
connect to the GPS receiver. To start using a compatible GPS receiver with Bluetooth
connectivity, select the Bluetooth application.
The coordinates in the GPS are expressed in the degrees and decimal degrees format
using the international WGS-84 coordinate system. The availability of the
coordinates may vary by region.
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.
Different positioning methods can be enabled or disabled in positioning settings.
