Map/GPS Function
Using GPS Function
･
This function is unavailable as a navigation device for aircraft, vehicles or persons
or as high-precision location surveying GPS. DOCOMO is not liable to any purely
economic damages including troubles, if any, caused by missing opportunities of
viewing positioning results or making communications due to failures or
malfunctions of FOMA terminal or external events such as power interruption
(including battery exhaustion) in using FOMA terminal for purposes including but
not limited to the above.
･
Because GPS is managed by U.S. Department of Defense, GPS wave conditions
may be controlled (accuracy degraded or wave stopped) for security reasons of
the U.S. And, wave conditions differ by satellite locations; therefore, positioning
operations in the same location under the same environmental conditions may
not yield the same result.
･
GPS uses waves transmitted from satellites and it may be disabled or become
hard to receive waves in the conditions below, causing to have an error of 300 m
or more in location information.
- Under or inside forest, on street of large buildings or in an area packed with many houses
- Inside or beneath a building
- Underground, in a tunnel or underwater
- Near a high-voltage cable
- Inside an automobile, train, etc.
- Bad weather such as heavy rain or snow
- Covered with hand etc., or placed in a bag etc.
- FOMA terminal closed
- FOMA terminal surrounded by obstacles or persons
