Location Services - Samsung Galaxy Note 3 User Manual

Location services

Location services control your device's use of GPS signals.
Some apps may require one or more location services be
turned On for full app functionality.
GPS signals may be affected by your surroundings, including:
•
Buildings
•
Tunnels or underground structures
•
Weather conditions
•
High-voltage or electromagnetic fields
•
Tinted windows
Important! US Cellular values your privacy. Because of this,
your device is defaulted to only acquire your
location when you dial 911. To use Location-Based
Services, you must first enable location services on
your device. For more information, refer to
"Location services" on page 172.
