About positioning methods

Maps displays your location on the map using GPS, A-GPS,
or 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.
When you use Maps for the first time, you are prompted
to define an internet access point to download map

indicates the availability of the satellite
signals. One bar is one satellite. When the device is
searching for satellite signals, the bar is yellow. When
there is enough data available to calculate your location,
the bar turns green. The more green bars, the more
reliable the location calculation.
The Global Positioning System (GPS) is operated by the
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,
