GPS & AGPS
Certain Samsung mobile devices can use a Global Positioning System (GPS) signal for location-based applications. A GPS
uses satellites controlled by the U.S. Government that are subject to changes implemented in accordance with the Department
of Defense policy and the 2008 Federal Radio navigation Plan (FRP). Changes may affect the performance of location-based
technology on your mobile device.
Certain Samsung mobile devices can also use an Assisted Global Positioning System (AGPS), which obtains information from
the cellular network to improve GPS performance. AGPS uses your wireless service provider's network and therefore airtime,
data charges, and/or additional charges may apply in accordance with your service plan. Contact your wireless service provider
for details.
Your Location
Location-based information includes information that can be used to determine the approximate location of a mobile device.
Mobile devices which are connected to a wireless network transmit location-based information. Additionally, if you use
applications that require location-based information (e.g. driving directions), such applications transmit location-based
information. The location-based information may be shared with third-parties, including your wireless service provider,
applications providers, Samsung, and other third-parties providing services.
Use of AGPS in Emergency Calls
When you make an emergency call, the cellular network may activate AGPS technology in your mobile device to tell the
emergency responders your approximate location.
