GPS Enabled
Your handset’s GPS Enabled feature uses
information from Global Positioning System (GPS)
satellites orbiting the Earth to determine the
approximate geographical location of your
handset, 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”.
You can also use the GPS feature to view your
approximate location. Location information
appears on the handset’s display.
Java applications loaded on your handset can also
request your location. If your handset 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.
IMPORTANT: Things to Keep
in Mind
If you are using the GPS feature of your handset
while driving, please give full attention to driving
and to the road.
Where adequate signals from multiple satellites
are not available
(usually because your GPS
antenna cannot establish a view of a wide area of
open sky
), the GPS feature of your handset
WILL NOT WORK. Such situations include but
are not limited to:
• In underground locations
• Inside of buildings, trains, or other covered
vehicles
• Under any other metal or concrete roof or
structure
• Between tall buildings or under dense
tree-cover
• Near a powerful radio or television tower
• When your GPS antenna is covered (for
example, by your hand or other object) or
facing the ground
• In temperature extremes outside the
operating limits of your handset
