Location Services; Using Gps - Sony Ericsson Xperia active Extended User Manual

Location services

Use your phone to find out where you are. There are two methods: GPS or wireless
networks. It's best to enable the wireless networks option if you only need your approximate
location, and want it fast. If you want a more exact position, and have a clear view of the
sky, enable the GPS option. You can enable both options to ensure your location is found
in situations where a network is weak.
Sony Ericsson does not warrant the accuracy of any location services, including but not limited
to navigational services.
To enable GPS
1 From the Home screen, tap
2 Tap Settings > Location & security.
3 Mark the Use GPS satellites checkbox.

Using GPS

Your phone has a global positioning system (GPS) receiver that uses satellite signals to
calculate your location.
When you use features that require the GPS receiver to find your location, make sure you have
a clear view of the sky.
Getting the best performance
The first time you use the GPS it can take 5 to 10 minutes for your location to be found. To
help the search, make sure you have a clear view of the sky. Stand still and don't cover the
GPS antenna (the highlighted area in the image). The GPS signals can pass through clouds
and plastic, but not through most solid objects such as buildings and mountains. If your
location isn't found after a few minutes, move to another location.
