10.1 Will it result in any charges if I use my navigation 
application? 

The navigation application itself is free. However, Internet access is required when you 
browse through the map or plan a route, which may incur data usage fees. 

For details about data usage fees, contact your Internet service provider. 

10.2 What can I do if my navigation application is slow in 
positioning or experiencing positioning failure? 

 

Some navigation applications may need a network connection. Connect to a Wi-Fi 
network or turn on the data service and try again. 

 

GPS satellite signals are weak indoors, which may cause slow positioning or 
positioning failure. Take your phone to an open area with good reception. 

10.3 What can I do if the positioning and navigation 
information displayed on my phone is inaccurate? 

 

The positioning accuracy depends on the GPS satellites and map accuracy. Bring your 
phone to an outdoor location with good reception. The GPS signals are weak indoors, 
which may cause inaccurate positioning results. 

 

Turn on 

High accuracy

 for higher positioning accuracy.
