About GPS and satellite
signals
Note: This function is not available in all countries or
regions. Consult with your local network operator for
availability of this function.
To use Global Positioning System (GPS), you need a
compatible GPS receiver. Use Bluetooth connectivity to
connect to the GPS receiver. To start using a compatible
GPS receiver with Bluetooth connectivity, select
Connectivity Bluetooth.
A GPS terminal receives low-power radio signals from the
satellites and measures the travel time of the signals. From
the travel time, the GPS receiver can calculate its location
to the accuracy of metres.
The coordinates in the GPS are expressed in degrees and
decimal degrees format using the international WGS-84
coordinate system.
The Global Positioning System (GPS) is operated by the
66
government of the United States, which is solely
responsible for its accuracy and maintenance. The

accuracy of location data can be affected by adjustments
to GPS satellites made by the United States government
and is subject to change with the United States
Department of Defense civil GPS policy and the Federal
Radionavigation Plan. Accuracy can also be affected by
poor satellite geometry. Availability and quality of GPS
signals may be affected by your location, buildings,
natural obstacles, and weather conditions. The GPS
receiver should only be used outdoors to allow reception
of GPS signals.
Any GPS should not be used for precise location
measurement, and you should never rely solely on location
data from the GPS receiver and cellular radio networks for
positioning or navigation.
The trip meter has limited accuracy, and rounding errors

may occur. Accuracy can also be affected by availability
and quality of GPS signals.
To enable or disable different positioning methods, such
as Bluetooth GPS, select
General Positioning
