8.10 What is GPS? 

The GPS stands for Global Positioning System that uses the satellites for positioning and 
navigation globally.   

8.11 How can I strengthen the GPS signals? 

1.

 

Try using the GPS function in an open area to ensure normal signal transmission.   

2.

 

When you use the GPS function in a car, place your phone near the front window of the 
car.   

8.12 What are the GPS working principles? 

The phone sends its location information (latitude and longitude coordinates) to the 
positioning background through the self-attached GPS module. Then, the positioning 
background calculates the coordinates in the electronic map and marks the positioned object 
on the map, which visually shows the current geographical location of the phone.
