The almanac contains information about the location of satellites, their operational status, and other satellite information. Keeping this information updated enhances the performance of your GPS feature. In most cases, your handset will be able to get a fix in strong satellite signal conditions with outdated almanac data, but it may take longer.
If your satellite almanac data is out of date, your handset may prompt you to update it. Follow the instructions that appear on the handset’s display. You may be asked to go to a web site or call a customer care number.
