GPS Enabled

Your phone’s GPSEnabled feature usesinformation
from Global Positioning System (GPS) satellites
orbiting the Earth to determine the approximate
geographicallocationof your phone, expressed as
latitude and longitude. The availability and accuracy
of this locationinformation (and the amount of time
that it takes to calculate it) will vary depending on
the environmentin which you are using the GPS
feature. For example, GPS location fixes are often
difficult to obtain indoors, in covered locations,
betweenhigh buildings,or in other situations where
you have notestablisheda clear broad view ofthe
sky.SEE: “IMPORTANT: Things to Keep in Mind”

on page 61.

When you make a 911 emergency call, the GPS
feature of your phone can help emergency
personnel locate you ifyour phone has adequate
accessto GPSsatellitesignals and your emergency
response center is equipped to process such
information.

You can also use the GPSfeatureto view your
approximate location.Location informationappears
on the phone’s display.

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 control whether these requestsare granted.

IMPORTANT: T hings to Keep in Mind

Ifyou are using the GPS featureof yourphonewhile
driving, please give full attention to driving and to the
road.

Where adequate signals from multiple satellites
are not available(usuallybecause your GPS

antennacannot establish aview ofa wide area of
open sky), the GPS feature of your phone WILL

NOT WORK. Such situations include but are not
limited to:

• In underground locations

• Inside of buildings, trains, or other covered
vehicles

• Under any other metal or concrete roof or
structure

• Between tall buildings or under dense
tree-cover

• Near a powerful radio or television tower

61

GPS E nabled

• When your GPS antenna is covered (for
example, by your hand or other object) or
facing the ground

• Intemperatureextremesoutsidethe operating
limits of your phone

Walking or driving very slowly may also
substantially reduce GPS performance.

Even where location information can be
calculated in such situations, it may take much
longerto do so, and your location estimate may
not be as accurate. Therefore, in any 911 call,
always report the location to the emergency
response center if you can and if you cannot,
remain on your phone for as long as the
emergency response center instructs you.

Even where adequate signals from multiple
satellites are available, your GPS feature will
only provide an approximate location, often
within 150 feet (45 meters) but sometimes much
further from your actual location. Advice on how
to improve GPS performance is provided in
“Enhancing GPS Performance” on page 64.

While the GPS feature of your phone can be a
valuable navigational aid, itdoes not replace the
need for careful navigatingand good judgment.

Never rely solely on onedevicefor navigation.

Remember that the accuracy of the location

62

informationandthetimeneededtoobtainitwillvary
depending on circumstances, particularly the ability
to receive signals from adequate numbers of
satellites.

On emergencycalls,your phoneuses assistance
informationfromthe phone network to improve the
speed and accuracy of yourphone’s location
calculation:if such assistanceinformation becomes
unavailable, it may reduce the speed and accuracy
of the location calculation.

The satellites used by the GPS feature of your
phoneare controlledby the U.S. government and
are subject to changes implemented in accordance
with the Department of Defense GPS user policy
and the Federal Radionavigation Plan. These
changes may affect the performance of the GPS
feature of yourphone.

Making an Emergency Call

Dial 911 to be connected to an emergency response
center.Ifyouareonanactivecall,youmustendit
before calling 911.

Whenyoumakeanemergency911call,theGPS
feature of yourphone begins to seek information to
calculate your approximate location. It will take the

GPS feature of your phone some time to
determine your approximate location. Even

where your phone has goodaccess to sufficient

Viewing Your Approximate Location

GPSsatellite signalsandnetworkassist data,it may
take 30 seconds or more to determine the
approximate location.T his time will increasewhere
thereis reducedaccessto satellite signals.When
your approximate location is determined, it is made
available to the appropriate emergency response
center.

In some cases, your local 911 emergency
response center may not be equipped to receive
GPS location information. For this reason, and

becausethe GPS location information reported is
only approximate or may not be available in your
location(see “IMPORTANT:Thingsto K eep in
Mind” on page 61), always report your location to
the 911 operator you speak to whenmakingan
emergency call, if able, just as you would when
using a phone without GPS capabilities.

Note: If youare concerned about whether your

local911 emergency responsecenteris
equipped to receive GPS location
information, contact your local authorities.

In general, if your phone has access to signals from
more GPS satellites,your location will be
determined faster and moreaccurately than if your
phone has access to signals from fewer GPS
satellites.

If your phone does not have adequate access to
GPS satellitessignals, the locationof the nearest
celltowerin contactwithyourphoneis automatically
madeavailableto the emergency responsecenter,if
the center has the capability to receive such
information.

See “EnhancingGPS Performance” on page64 for
information on h ow to help your phone determine
your location.

phoneis powered off. You will seethis information
the next time you view the Position screen.

64

Ifyou receiveda phone call or alertwhileattempting
to determine your location, the Position screen will
disappear, but your phone will continue attempting
to determine its location. If it is successful, the new
location information will be displayed the next time
you view the Position screen.

Enhanci ng GPS Performa nc e

Sometimes the GPS feature of your phone may be
unable to complete a location calculation
successfully. If this happens when you are making
an emergency call, the location of the nearest cell
tower in contact with your phone is made available
to the appropriate emergency response center if the
centerhas the capability to receive such
information. If this happens when you are trying to
viewyour location on the phone’s display, you will
see a message indicating that your phone cannot
accesssatellites.

To improve accuracy and increase your chances of
a successful calculation, do thefollowing while your
phoneis determiningyour approximate location:

Updating Satellite Almanac Data

• Stay in the open. The GPS feature works best

wherethereis nothingbetween your phone and a
largeamountof open sky.If possible, go outside,
away from tall buildings and foliage. While
performanceinabuildingisimprovedbymoving
closerto windows, glass with certainsun
shielding films may block satellite signals.

• Hold your phone to enhance reception. Signals

from GPS satellitesare transmitted to your GPS
antenna, which is inside the back of your phone,
opposite the earpiece, above the label with your
service provider’s name on it. Hold your phone
away from your body, giving the antenna clear
access to satellite signals. Do not cover the
antennaarea with your fingers or anythingelse.

GPS antenna area

• Stand still. If possible, stand still until your phone
isfinished determining your location.Moving your
phone at a walking pace while your phone is
calculating your approximate location may
substantially decrease GPS performance.

• In acar. When using the GPS Enabled feature in
a car, positionyour phone so that the GPS
antenna has good access to GPS signals through
the car’s windows. Typically, the GPS antenna
has best access to GPSsignalsin a car when
placed near a window.

Note: Althoughmoving your phone ata walking

pacedecreasesGPSperformance,moving
it at the speed of a moving car does not.

• Stay in network coverage. Depending on who
your service provider is, the network will provide
your phone with information that helps determine
your location more quickly and accurately.

Updating Satellite Almanac
Data

Anotherway tokeep the GPS featureof your phone
working well is tokeep your satellite almanac data
up to date.

65

GPS E nabled

The United States government maintains an
almanac of data about where GPS satellites are as
they orbit the Earth. This information is available to
your phone. Keeping your satellite almanac up to
date helps your phone determine your location more
quickly.

Thealmanaccontains informationaboutthe location
of satellites, their operationalstatus,and other
satellite information. Keeping this information
updatedenhances the performance o f yourGPS
feature. In mostcases, your phone will be able to
get a fixin strong satellite signal conditionswith
outdated almanac data, but itmay take longer.

Note: Whenyoumakeanemergencycall,your

phone does not rely upon the almanacto
determine your location.

If your satellite almanac data is out of date, your
phone may prompt you to update it. Follow the
instructionsthat appearon the phone’sdisplay. You

Using GPS with Map Software

You can use the GPS feature of your phone to
provide approximate location data to a laptop
computer or similar device that is running interactive
mapsoftwaresuchasthatmadebyDeLormeor
Microsoft. This way, if your phone hasgood access
to GPS signals, your approximate position on a map
canbemadeavailableasyoutravelinavehicle.

To do this, connect your phone to your laptop (or
other device) with a data cable and set your phone
to transmit data (see “Getting Started” on page 68).
Yourphonethen providesyour approximatelocation
to the device running the map software, which
displays your location on amap. Your phone
provides an updated location every second and the
map software displays your changing location on its
map.

See “EnhancingGPS Performance” on page64 for
more details on obtaininggood location information.

Note: Because your phone is continuously

determiningyour location,using the GPS
feature of yourphone with map software
usesthe phone’s battery power quickly.
