Java Applications and GPS Enabled

85

GPS Enabled

Your phone’s GPS Enabled feature uses
information from Global Positioning System (GPS)
satellites orbiting the Earth to determine the
approximate geographical location of your phone,
expressed as latitude and longitude. The
availability and accuracy of this location
informat ion (and the amount of time that it takes to
calculateit)willvarydepending on the environment
in which you are using the GPS feature. For
example, GPS location fixes are often difficult to
obtainindoors,in coveredlocations, between high
buildings,or in othersituationswhere you havenot
established a clear broad view of the sky. SEE:

“IMPORTANT: Things to Keep in Mind”.

When you make a 911 emergency call, the GPS
feature of your phone can help emergency
personnel locate you if your phone has adequate
accessto GPS satellite signals and your
emergency responsecenterisequippedtoprocess
such information.

You can also use the GPS featureto view your
approximate location.Locationinformat ion
appearson the phone’s display.

86

Java applications loaded on your phone can also
request your location. If your phone is connected to
a laptopcomputeror similar device,software
runningon that device can request your location.
To protect your privacy, you can control whether
these requestsare granted.

IMPORTANT: Things t o Keep in Mind

If you are using the GPS feature of your phone
while driving, please give full attention to driving
and to the road.

Whereadequatesignals frommultiple satellites
are not available (usually because your GPS

antenna cannot establish a view of a wide area of
open sky), the GPS feature of your phone WILL

NOT WORK. Such situations include but are
not limitedto:

• 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

Making an Emergency Call

• Whenyour GPS antenna is covered (for
example, by your hand or other object) or
facing the groun d

• In temperature extremes outside the
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
longer to 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 h ow to improve GPS performance is
provided in “Enhancing GPS Performance” on
page 89.

While the GPS feature of your phone can be a
valuable navigational aid, it does not replace the
need for carefulnavigating and good judgment.

Never rely solely on one device for navigation.

Rememberthat the accuracy of the location

information and the time neededto obtainit will
vary dependingon circumstances, particularly the
ability to receive signals from adequate numbers of
satellites.

On emergency calls, your phone uses assistance
informat ion from the phone networkto improvethe
speed and accuracyof your phone’s location
calculation: if such assistanceinformation
becomes unavailable, it may reduce the speed and
accuracyof the location calculation.

The satellitesused by the GPS feature of your
phone are controlled by the U.S. government and
aresubjectto changesimplementedin accordance
with the Department of Defense GPS user policy
and the Federal Radionavigation Plan. These
changesmay affectthe performance of the GPS
feature of your phone.

Making an Emergency Call

Dial 911 to be connected to an emergency
responsecenter. If you are on an active call,you
must end it before calling 911.

When you make an emergency 911 call, the GPS
feature of your phone 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 good access to sufficient

87

GPS Enabled

GPS satellite signals and network assist data, it
may take 30 seconds or more to determine the
approximate location. This time will increase where
thereis reducedaccess to satellitesignals. When
your approximate location is determined, it is made
available to the appropriate emergency r esponse
center.

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

reason, and because the GPS location information
reported is only approximate or may not be
available in your location(see “IMPORTANT:
Thingsto Keep in Mind” on page 86), always
report yourlocation to the 911 operator you
speak to when making an emergency call, if able,
just as you would when using a phone without GPS
capabilities.

Note: If you are concerned aboutwhetheryour

local911emergency response center is
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 more accurately than if your
phone has access to signals from fewer GPS
satellites.

88

If your phone does not have adequate access to
GPS satellitessignals, the location of the nearest
cell tower in contact with your phone is
automatically made availableto the emergency
responsecenter, if the centerhas the capabilityto
receive such information.

See“Enhancing GPS Performance” on page 89 for
informat ion on how to help your phone determine
your location.

Viewing Your Approximate Location

1 From the main menu, selectGPS > Position.
2 Scrollto view the entire screen.

This displays the following information about the
last time your location was calculated:

• The time (as Greenwich MeanTime)and date
that the location was last calculated

• The approximate location, expressed as latitude
and longitude

• The estimated accuracy of the calculated
location. This estimateofaccuracyis only a very
roughestimateand may vary substantiallyfrom
the actual accuracy of the approximate location
informationreported.

Enhancing GPS Performance

• The number of satellites used to calculate the
location. In general, more satellites make for
better accuracy.

To calculate your location again:

Press A under Rfrsh.

It may take your phoneseveral minutes to
complete the process of determining your location.
During this time,a message usually appears o n
your phone’s display saying your phone is
scanning for satellites.For t ips on gettingthe best
locationcalculation,see “ E nhancing GPS
Performance”.

The Position screen displays the updated
information.

To cancel a location calculat ion before it is
completed:

Press A under Cancel to return to the Position
screen. -or-

Press e to return to the idle screen.

Each time approximate location of your phone is
calculated, the latestlocationinformation is stored
in your phone and remains there even when your
phone is poweredoff. You will see this information
thenexttimeyouviewthePosition screen.

If you received a phone call or alert while
attemptingtodetermineyour location,the Position
screenwill disappear,but yourphone 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.

Enhancing GPS Performance

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 contactwith your phone is made available
to the appropriate emergency response center if
the center has the capability to receive such
informat ion. If this happens when you are trying to
view your locationon the phone’s display,you will
see a message indicating that your phone cannot
accesssatellites.

89

GPS Enabled

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
wherethere is nothing between your phone and
a largeamount of open sky. If possible,go
outside, away from tall buildings and foliage.
While performance in a building is improved by
movingcloserto windows,glasswithcertainsun
shielding films may block satellite signals.

• Extendyour phone antenna.

90

• 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
covertheantennaareawithyourfingersor
anything else.

Updating Satellite Almanac Data

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

• Ina car.When usingthe GPS Enabled featurein
a car, position your 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 GPS signals in a car
when placed near a window.

Note: Although moving your phone at a walking

pacedecreasesGPS performance,
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 to keep the GPS feature of your
phone working well is to keep your satellite
almanacdata up to date.

The United States government maintains an
almanacof data about where GPS satellitesare as
they orbitthe Earth. This informationis availableto
your phone. Keeping your satellite almanacup to
date helps your phone determine your location
more quickly.

The almanac contains informationabout the
location of satellites, their operational status, and
other satellite information. Keeping this information
updatedenhancesthe performance of your GPS
feature. In most cases, your phone will be able to
get a fixin strongsatellitesignal conditions with
outdated almanacdata, but it may t ake longer.

Note: When you make an emergency call, your

phone does not rely upon the almanac to
determine your location.

If your satellitealmanac data is out of date, your
phone may promptyou to updateit. Followthe
instructions that appear on the phone’s display.
