It may take your Smartphone several minutes to complete the process of determining your location. During this time, a message usually appears on your Smartphone’s display saying your Smartphone is scanning for satellites. For tips on getting the best location calculation, see “Enhancing GPS Performance”.

After your approximate location is calculated, the Smartphone displays the following information:

The approximate location, expressed as latitude and longitude

The estimated accuracy of the calculated location. This estimate of accuracy is only a very rough estimate and may vary substantially from the actual accuracy of the approximate location information reported.

The number of satellites used to calculate the location. In general, more satellites make for better accuracy.

The time (as Greenwich Mean Time) and date that the location was last calculated

Each time approximate location of your Smartphone is calculated, the latest location information is stored in your Smartphone and remains there even when your Smartphone is powered off. You will see this information the next time you go to the GPS Location screen.

If you received a phone call or alert while attempting to determine your location, the GPS Location screen will disappear, but your Smartphone will continue attempting to determine its location. If it is successful, the new location information will be displayed the next time you view the GPS Location screen.
