Apple A1241 User Manual

Your current (approximate) location is indicated by a blue marker. If your location can’t 
be determined precisely, a blue circle also appears around the marker. The size of the 
circle depends on how precisely your location can be determined—the smaller the 
circle, the greater the precision.

As you move around, iPhone updates your location, adjusting the map so that the 
location indicator remains in the center of the screen. If you tap   again or drag the 
map, iPhone continues to update your location but stops centering it, so the location 
information may move off the screen.

iPhone uses Location Services to determine your location. Location Services uses 
available information from cellular network data, local Wi-Fi networks (if you have Wi-Fi 
turned on), and GPS ( iPhone 3G or later; GPS not available in all locations). This feature 
isn’t available in all areas.

If Location Services is turned off, you’ll be prompted to turn it on. You can’t find and 
track your current location if Location Services is turned off. See “Location Services” on 
page 144.

To conserve battery life, turn Location Services off when you’re not using it. In Settings, 
choose General > Location Services.
Get information about your current location:  Tap the blue marker, then tap  . 
iPhone displays the address of your current location, if available. You can use this 
information to:
