Using location services
Location services allow applications such as Maps and the camera to use information
from Wi-Fi networks as well as Global Positioning System (GPS) information to determine
your approximate location. If you're not within a clear line of sight to GPS satellites, your
device can determine your location using the Wi-Fi function.
In order to use your device to find out where you are, you need to enable location
services.

Improving GPS Accuracy
The first time you use the GPS function in your device, it can take a few minutes for your
location to be found. To help the search, make sure you have a clear view of the sky.
Stand still and don't cover the GPS antenna (the highlighted area in the image). GPS
signals can pass through clouds and plastic, but not through most solid objects such as
buildings and mountains. If your location isn't found after a few minutes, move to another
location.
