GPS Function
Precautions for using GPS
･
This function cannot be used 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
depending on 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
- Surrounded by obstacles or persons
･
When using Location request and Notify location
functions, check instructions and precautions given in
website of GPS service providers and DOCOMO. And,
you may be charged for using these functions.

Accuracy icon definitions :
★★★ : Nearly accurate location information
(with an error of less than 50 m)
★★☆
: Comparatively accurate location
information (with an error of less than 300 m)
★☆☆ : Approximate location information (with
an error of 300 m or more)

Accuracies are merely approximate indications. Actual
accuracies may be different depending on the
environmental wave and other conditions.
