Depending on the available positioning method, the accuracy of positioning may vary
from a few metres to several kilometres.
When you use Maps for the first time, you are prompted to define the internet access
point to use to download map information or use A-GPS.
The availability and quality of GPS signals may be affected by your location, satellite
positions, buildings, natural obstacles, weather conditions, and adjustments to GPS
satellites made by the United States government. GPS signals may not be available
inside buildings or underground.
Do not use GPS for precise location measurement, and never rely solely on the
location info provided by GPS and cellular networks.
