About positioning methods

Maps displays your location on the map using GPS, A-GPS, WLAN, 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.
Wireless local area network (WLAN) positioning improves position accuracy when GPS
signals are not available, especially when you are indoors or between tall buildings.
With cell ID based positioning, the position is determined through the antenna tower
your mobile device is currently connected to.
Depending on the available positioning method, the accuracy of positioning may vary
from a few metres to several kilometres.
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.
The availability and quality of GPS signals may be affected by your location, satellite
positions, buildings, natural obstacles, weather conditions and adjustments to GPS
satellites made by the United States government. GPS signals may not be available inside
buildings or underground.
Do not use GPS for precise location measurement, and never rely solely on the location
information provided by GPS and cellular networks.
Note: Using WLAN may be restricted in some countries. For example, in France,
you are only allowed to use WLAN indoors. For more information, contact your local
authorities.
