Gps Enabled - Motorola i365 User Manual

GPS Enabled

Your phone's GPS Enabled feature uses information
from Global Positioning System (GPS) satellites orbiting
the Earth to determine the approximate geographical
location of your phone, expressed as latitude and
longitude. The availability and accuracy of this location
information (and the amount of time that it takes to
calculate it) will vary depending on the environment in
which you are using the GPS feature. For example,
GPS location fixes are often difficult to obtain indoors,
in covered locations, between high buildings, or in
other situations where you have not established a clear
broad view of the sky. SEE: "IMPORTANT: Things to
Keep in Mind" on page 122.
When you make a 911 emergency call, the GPS feature
of your phone can help emergency personnel locate
you if your phone has adequate access to GPS satellite
signals and your emergency response center is
equipped to process such information.
You can also use the GPS feature to view your
approximate location. Location information appears on
the phone's display.
122 Section 2F. Tools
Java applications loaded on your phone can also
request your location. If your phone is connected to a
laptop computer or similar device, software running on
that device can request your location. To protect your
privacy, you can control whether these requests are
granted. See "GPS Privacy Options" on page 89.
IMPORTANT: Things to Keep in Mind
If you are using the GPS feature of your phone while
driving, please give full attention to driving and to the
road.
Where adequate signals from multiple satellites are not
available (usually because your GPS antenna cannot
establish a view of a wide area of open sky), the GPS
feature of your phone WILL NOT WORK. Such
situations include but are not limited to:
In underground locations.
Inside of buildings, trains, or other covered vehicles.
Under any other metal or concrete roof or structure.
Between tall buildings or under dense tree-cover.
Near a powerful radio or television tower.
When your GPS antenna is covered (for example, by
your hand or other object) or facing the ground.
