GPS Enabled
Your phone’s GPS Enabled fea ture 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 inform ation (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 examp le, GPS location fi xes are often
difficult to obtain indoo rs, in covered locations,
between high buildings, or in ot he r situ at ions where
you have not estab lished a clear broad view of the
sky. 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 y ou if your phone has adequate
access to GPS satellite sig na ls an d yo ur em erge nc y
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 lo aded on your phone c an also
request your locat ion. 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, yo u can control whether these
requests are grante d.
