About positioning methods

Maps displays your location on the map using GPS, A-GPS, SA-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. Self-assisted GPS (SA-GPS)
provides the fastest positioning without using a network connection.
WLAN positioning improves position accuracy when GPS signals are not available,
especially when you are indoors or between tall buildings.
