Maps and locations

Location services and sources

Use your device to find out where you are. There are two methods, or sources: GPS satellites and wireless networks. Enable the wireless networks option (Wi-Fi and mobile networks) if you only need your approximate location, and want it fast. If you want a more exact position, and have a clear view of the sky, enable the GPS satellites option. In situations where the wireless network connection is weak, you should enable both options to ensure that your location is found. Both options are activated by default when you enable location services.

Sony does not warrant the accuracy of any location services including but not limited to navigational services.

Using GPS

Your device has a GPS (Global Positioning System) receiver that uses satellite signals to calculate your location. Your device also supports GLONASS (Global Navigation Satellite System). Both systems can complement and replace each other, if necessary, to ensure positioning accuracy and a smooth navigation experience. When you enable GPS, the GLONASS system also gets enabled automatically.

When you use features that require the GPS and GLONASS receiver to find your location, make sure you have a clear view of the sky.

4 Tap Agree to confirm.

Getting the best performance

The first time you use the GPS it can take 5 to 10 minutes for your location to be found. To help the search, make sure you have a clear view of the sky. Stand still and don't cover the GPS antenna (the highlighted area in the image). The GPS signals can pass through clouds and plastic, but not through most solid objects such as buildings and mountains. If your location isn't found after a few minutes, move to another location.
