•Stay in network coverage. Depending on who your service provider is, the network will provide your Smartphone with information that helps determine your location more quickly and accurately.

Updating Satellite Almanac Data

Another way to keep the GPS feature of your Smartphone working well is to keep your satellite almanac data up to date.

The United States government maintains an almanac of data about where GPS satellites are as they orbit the Earth. This information is available to your Smartphone. Keeping your satellite almanac up to date helps your Smartphone determine your location more quickly.

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 In most cases, your Smartphone will be able to get a fix in strong satellite signal conditions with outdated almanac data, but it may take longer.

Note: When you make an emergency call, your Smartphone does not rely upon the almanac to determine your location.

If your satellite almanac data is out of date, your Smartphone may prompt you to update it. Follow the instructions that appear on the Smartphone’s display. You may be asked to go to a web site or call a customer care number.
