Availability and costs depend on your service provider.

data connection to use if there is more than one available (see "GPRS/G" in
Chapter 8). In the Location Settings screen, tap the AGPS tab and choose from the
available options.

location data to be collected at any time when the device is in use.

tap the Location Service tab and choose from the available options.
