IMPORTANT: Things to Keep in Mind

GPS (Global Positioning System) Enable d
Your phone’s GPS Enabled feature uses
information from G lobal Positioning System (GPS)
satellites orbiting the Ea rth to determine the
approximate geographical location of your phone,
expressed as latitude and longitude. The
availability and accuracy of this location
information (and th e amount of time tha t 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 ph one’s display.
Java applications loa ded on your phone can also
request your locatio n. If your phone is conn ected to
a laptop computer or similar device, software
running on that de vice can request yo ur 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 sa tellites
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 con crete roof or
structure
