About positioning methods
Maps displays your location on the map using GPS or A-GPS.
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 uses local
network information to improve the speed and accuracy
of the GPS positioning.
Downloading A-GPS data involves data transfer through
your service provider's network. While roaming, that is,
outside your service provider's network, the data transfer
