Enhancing GPS Performance

Sometimes the GPS feature of your phone may be unable
to complete a location calculation successfully. If this
happens when you are making an emergency call, the
location of the nearest cell tower in contact with your
phone is made available to the appropriate emergency
response center if the center has the capability to receive
such information. If this happens when you are trying to
view your location on the phone's display, you will see
a message indicating that your phone cannot access
satellites.
To improve accuracy and increase your chances of a
successful calculation, do the following while your phone is
determining your approximate location:
• Stay in the open. The GPS feature works best where there
is nothing between your phone and a large amount of
open sky.
• Stay in network coverage. Depending on your service
provider, the network will provide your phone with
information that helps determine your location more
quickly and accurately.
