8.12 How can I use the GPS with an offline map?

you connect to a Wi-Fi network and download the package. Then, you can use the GPS offline.

8.13 What are LBS?
The LBS stands for Location Based Services that are value-added services provided by
combining the mobile communications network and satellite positioning system. The location
information (altitude and longitude coordinate data) of a mobile terminal is acquired using the
positioning technology. Therefore, mobile users or others are provided with location based
services, such as weather, GPS, and shopping.

Go to Settings > Location access and enable Network location. Enable GPS.
8.15 Does the LBS use the data traffic?
Generally speaking, after you enable the LBS, your phone will load map data using the data
traffic when running the location based app. It is recommended that you download an offline
map and regularly update it using a Wi-Fi network before using the map software. Therefore,
