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. GPS signals may
not be available inside buildings or
underground and may be impaired by
materials such as concrete and metal.
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.
The coordinates in the GPS are expressed
using the international WGS-84
coordinate system. The availability of the
coordinates may vary by region.

About assisted GPS (A-GPS)

Your device supports A-GPS (network
service). When you activate A-GPS, your
device receives useful satellite
information from an assistance data
server over the cellular network. With the
help of assisted data, your device can
obtain the GPS position faster.
Assisted GPS (A-GPS) is used to retrieve
assistance data over a packet data
connection, which assists in calculating
the coordinates of your current location
when your device is receiving signals from
satellites.

Hold your device correctly

When using the GPS receiver, ensure you
do not cover the antenna with your hand.
Establishing a GPS connection may take
from a couple of seconds to several
minutes. Establishing a GPS connection in
a vehicle may take longer.
The GPS receiver draws its power from the
device battery. Using the GPS receiver may
drain the battery faster.
