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 information (and the amount of time that it takes to calculate it) will vary depending on the environment in which you are using the GPS feature. For example, GPS location fixes are often difficult to obtain indoors, in covered locations, between high buildings, or in other situations where you have not established a clear broad view of the sky. Also, nearby radio and electronic equipment may block or interfere with reception from these distant satellites. 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 access to GPS satellite signals and your emergency response center is equipped to process such information.

You can also use the GPS feature to view your approximate location. Location information appears on the phone’s display.

Java applications loaded on your phone can also request your location. 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 requests are granted.

IMPORTANT: Things to 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.

Where adequate signals from multiple 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 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.
