Using location services

Location services allow applications such as Maps and the camera to use information from mobile and Wi-Fi® networks as well as Global Positioning System (GPS) information to determine your approximate location. If you're not within a clear line of sight to GPS satellites, your device can determine your location using the Wi-Fi® function. And if you're not within range of a Wi-Fi® network, your device can determine your location using your mobile network.

In order to use your device to find out where you are, you need to enable location services.

To enable location services

1

Drag the status bar downwards, then tap .

2

Tap Location services.

3Drag the slider beside Access to my location to the right.

4 Tap Agree twice to confirm.

When you enable location services, both GPS satellites and Google's location service (Wi-Fi and mobile networks) get enabled by default. You can disable either option manually.

To allow Google apps to access your location

1 Drag the status bar downwards, then tap .

2Tap Google > Location settings.

3Drag the slider beside Let Google apps access your location to the right.

You must be logged into your Google™ account to be able to use location services.

Improving GPS accuracy

The first time you use the GPS function in your device, it can take 5 to 10 minutes for your location to be found. To help the search, make sure you have a clear view of the sky. Stand still and don't cover the GPS antenna (the highlighted area in the image).

GPS signals can pass through clouds and plastic, but not through most solid objects such as buildings and mountains. If your location isn't found after a few minutes, move to another location.

Google Maps™ and navigation

Use Google Maps™ to track your current location, view real-time traffic situations and receive detailed directions to your destination.
