GPS Enabled

Your phone’s GPS Enabled feature uses information
from Global Positioning System (GPS) satellites
orbiting theEarth to determine the approximate
geographical locationof your phone, expressed as
latitudeand longitude. Theavailability andaccuracy
of this location information (andthe amountof time
that it takes to calculate it) will vary depending on
the environment in which you are using the GPS
feature. For example, GPS location fixes are often

Java applications loaded on your phone can also
request your location. If your phone is connected to
a laptop computer or similar device, software
running on that device can request your location. To
protect your privacy, you can controlwhether these
requests are granted.

Mind

example, by your hand or other object) or
facing the ground

• Intemperature extremesoutside theoperating

Walking or driving very slowly may also

Enhancing GPS Performance

To improve accuracy and increase your chances of
a successful calculation, do the followingwhile your
phone is determining your approximate location:

• Stay in the open. The GPS feature works best

where there is nothing betweenyourphone and a
large amount of open sky. If possible,go outside,
away from tall buildings and foliage. W hile
performanceinabuildingisimprovedbymoving
closer to windows,glass with certainsun
shielding films may block satellite signals.

• Hold your phone to enhance reception. Signals
from GPS satellites are transmitted to your GPS
antenna,which is in your phone antenna.Hold
your phone away from your body, giving the
antenna clear access to satellite signals. Do not
cover the antenna area with your fingers or
anything else.
