GPS Function
What is GPS?
GPS (Global Positioning System) is a system
developed and operated by the U.S.
Department of Defense. Using the positioning
radio waves broadcast by the satellites moving
around the earth, the system allows you to know
your current location (latitude, longitude, etc.).
Using the positioning radio waves broadcast by
the GPS satellites, the location information on
your FOMA terminal (latitude, longitude) is
obtained. The obtained information can be used
for various services.
