Positioning and location services
About positioning methods
Your phone displays your location using GPS, A-GPS, Wi-Fi, or cellular
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
of the positioning.
Wi-Fi positioning improves position accuracy when GPS signals are not
available, especially when you are indoors or between tall buildings.
With cellular positioning, the position is determined through the cellular
network antenna your phone is currently connected to.
You can also switch Wi-Fi and cellular positioning off in your phone set-
tings. However, this prevents you from using positioning-related ap-
plications, such as Bing Maps. Depending on the available positioning
methods, the accuracy of positioning may vary from a few metres to
several kilometres. The availability and quality of GPS signals may be af-
fected by your location, satellite positions, buildings, natural obstacles,
weather conditions, and adjustments to GPS satellites made by the
United States government. GPS signals may not be available inside-
buildings or underground.
Do not use GPS for precise location measurement, and never rely solely
on the location information provided by GPS and cellular networks.
