GPS Enabled
Your phone’s GPS Enabled feature uses information from Global Positioning
System (GPS) satellites orbiting the Earth to determine the approximate
geographical location of your phone, expressed as latitude and longitude. The
availability and accuracy of this location information (and the amount of time
that it takes to calculate it) will vary depending on the environment in which you
are using the GPS feature. For example, GPS location fixes are often difficult to
obtain indoors, in covered locations, between high buildings, or in other
situations where you have not established a clear broad view of the sky. SEE:
“IMPORTANT: Things to Keep in Mind” on page 94.
When you make a 911 emergency call, the phone’s GPS feature can help
emergency personnel locate you if your phone has adequate access to GPS
satellite signals and your emergency response center is equipped to process such
information.
You can also use the GPS feature to view your approximate location. Location
information appears on your phone’s display screen.
Java applications loaded on your phone can also request your location. If your
phone is connected to a laptop computer or similar device, software running on
that device can request your location. To protect your privacy, you can control
whether these requests are granted.
