8.18 What is GPS?
The GPS stands for Global Positioning System that uses the satellites for positioning and
navigation globally.
8.19 Does the GPS use huge data traffic?
It depends. The GPS doesn't use the data traffic itself. However, the data traffic is necessary
when your phone loads real-time information or map data. The data traffic volume depends on
the loaded information during GPS.
Different GPS software uses different data traffic. Some malicious software may use huge
data traffic. It is recommended that you download standard GPS software from Huawei App
Center.

Go to Settings > Location access and select both the GPS satellite and Wi-Fi network
