Positioning methods
Your phone shows your location on the map using GPS, GLONASS, A-GPS, Wi-Fi,

The availability, accuracy and completeness of the location info depend on, for
example, your location, surroundings, and third party sources, and may be
limited. Location info may not be available, for example, inside buildings or
underground. For privacy info related to positioning methods, see the Microsoft
Mobile Privacy Policy.
The Assisted GPS (A-GPS) network service and other similar enhancements to
GPS and GLONASS retrieve location info using the cellular network, and assists
in calculating your current location.
A-GPS and other enhancements to GPS and GLONASS may require transferring
small amounts of data over the mobile network. If you want to avoid data costs,
for example when traveling, you can switch the mobile data connection off in
your phone settings.

available, especially when you are indoors or between tall buildings. If you're in

settings.
Note: Using Wi-Fi may be restricted in some countries. For example, in the
