Positioning and location services

About positioning methods
Your phone shows your location on the map using GPS, A-GPS, Wi-Fi, or
network (Cell ID) based positioning.
A-GPS and other enhancements to GPS may require transferring small
amounts of data over the cellular network. If you want to avoid data
costs, for example when travelling, you can switch the mobile data con-
nection off in your phone settings.
Wi-Fi positioning improves positioning accuracy when satellite signals
are not available, especially when you are indoors or between tall build-
ings. If you're in a place where the use of Wi-Fi is restricted, you can
switch Wi-Fi off in your phone settings.
Depending on the available positioning methods, the accuracy of posi-
tioning may vary from a few meters to several kilometers.
The availability, accuracy and completeness of the location information
depend on, for example, your location, surroundings, and third party
sources, and may be limited. Location information may not be available,
for example, inside buildings or underground. For privacy information
related to positioning methods, see the Nokia Privacy Policy.
