Using location services
Location services allow applications such as Maps and the camera to use information
from Wi-Fi® networks as well as Global Positioning System (GPS) information to
determine your approximate location. If you're not within a clear line of sight to GPS
satellites, your device can determine your location using the Wi-Fi® function.

Improving GPS accuracy
The first time you use the GPS function in your device, 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). 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.
