About positioning methods
Maps displays your location on the map using GPS, A-GPS, or network (cell ID) based
positioning.
The global positioning system (GPS) is a satellite-based navigation system used for
calculating your location. Assisted GPS (A-GPS) is a network service that sends you
GPS data, improving the speed and accuracy of the positioning.
With network (cell ID) based positioning, the position is determined through the
antenna system your mobile device is currently connected to.
When you use Maps for the first time, you are prompted to define the internet
access point to use to download map information or use A-GPS.
To avoid network service costs, you can disable A-GPS and network (cell ID) based
positioning in your device positioning settings, but calculating your location may
take much longer. For more information about positioning settings, see the user
guide of your device.
Depending on the available positioning methods, the accuracy of positioning may
vary from a few metres to several kilometres.
