there is reduced access to satellite signals. When your
approximate location is determined, it is made available to
the appropriate emergency response center.
In some cases, your local 911 emergency response
center may not be equipped to receive GPS location
information
. For this reason, and because the GPS
location information reported is only approximate or may
not be available in your location (see “IMPORTANT: Things
to Keep in Mind” on page 110),
always report your
location to the 911 operator
you speak to when making
an emergency call, if able, just as you would when using a
phone without GPS capabilities.
Note:
If you are concerned about whether your local
911 emergency response center is equipped to
receive GPS location information, contact your
local authorities.
In general, if your phone has access to signals from more
GPS satellites, your location will be determined faster and
more accurately than if your phone has access to signals
from fewer GPS satellites.
If your phone does not have adequate access to GPS
satellites signals, the location of the nearest cell tower in
contact with your phone is automatically made available
to the emergency response center, if the center has the
capability to receive such information.
See “Enhancing GPS Performance” on page 114 for
information on how to help your phone determine your
location.

This displays the following information about the last time
your location was calculated:
•
The time (as Greenwich Mean Time) and date that the
location was last calculated
•
The approximate location, expressed as latitude and
longitude
•
The estimated accuracy of the calculated location. This
estimate of accuracy is only a very rough estimate and
may vary substantially from the actual accuracy of the
approximate location information reported.
•
The number of satellites used to calculate the location. In
general, more satellites make for better accuracy.
