GPS Enabled
Your phone’s GPS Enabled feature 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
information (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 example,
GPS location fixes are often difficult to obtain indoors,
in covered locations, between high buildings, or in
other situations where you have not established a clear
broad view of the sky. SEE: “IMPORTANT: Things to
Keep in Mind” on page 122.
