About positioning methods

Maps displays your location on the map
using GPS, A-GPS, WLAN, or network (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.
WLAN positioning improves position
accuracy when GPS signals are not
available, especially when you are indoors
or between tall buildings.
With network (cell ID) based positioning,
the position is determined through the
antenna system your mobile device is
currently connected to.
When you use Maps for the first time, you
are prompted to define the internet access
point to use to download map
information, use A-GPS, or connect to a
WLAN.
To avoid network service costs, you can
disable A-GPS, WLAN, and network (cell ID)
based positioning in your device
positioning settings, but calculating your
location may take much longer. For more
information about positioning settings,
see the user guide of your device.
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.
