Using the Device
3.6 Using the Location Feature
The G47 features positioning function to identify your location. It allows location-
based Apps to collect and use your location information to provide location-related
service. For example, a third-party App might want to pinpoint a vehicle’s location
so as to provide a more efficient route for the driver upon traffic congestion.
For a location-based App, you can individually configure whether it is allowed to
access to location services when the service is on.
Note: When your turn off the location service, you also turn it off for the Apps
that use this service. That means location-based service will stop and not be
available.
3.6.1 Enabling/Disabling Location Service
To turn on or off location service, swipe down the Status bar to bring up the Quick
Settings panel. Then access the Security & location | Location tile to turn it on
or off.
3.6.2 Location Mode
In addition to GPS satellite method, the G47 also supports Assisted GPS
(A-GPS), a method using Wi-Fi and cellular networks to speed up startup
positioning performance. According to the position mode, the battery drain and
position accuracy varies.
To select a location position mode when the location service is on,
1. Swipe down the Status bar and tap the LOCATION tile to enable the location
service if it isn't enabled yet.
2. In the Quick Settings panel, tap and hold the LOCATION tile to access the
location settings page.
3. Tap Mode and select a mode:
•
High accuracy : This mode uses GPS, Wi-Fi and cellular networks to
determine location. It drains the battery faster yet higher accuracy is
achieved compared to the other two modes. Select this mode if precise
location matters to you.
