Organizer Maps and GPS You can use the Global Positioning System (GPS) to support the Maps application. Find out your location, or measure distances and plot coordinates. Before you can use the GPS function with your device, you may need to pair your device with a compatible external GPS receiver using Bluetooth wireless technology. For more information, see the user guide for your GPS device. Once the internal GPS receiver in your device locates a satellite signal, it may take several minutes for the device to display the current location. Subsequent connections should be faster, but if you have not used GPS for several days, or are very far away from the last place you used it, it may take several minutes to detect and display your location. The Global Positioning System (GPS) is operated by the government of the United States, which is solely responsible for its accuracy and maintenance. The accuracy of location data can be affected by adjustments to GPS satellites made by the United States government and is subject to change with the United States Department of Defense civil GPS policy and the Federal Radionavigation Plan. Accuracy can also be affected by poor satellite geometry. Availability and quality of GPS signals may be affected by your location, buildings, natural obstacles, and weather conditions. GPS signals may not be available inside buildings or underground and may be impaired by materials such as concrete and metal. GPS should not be used for precise location measurement, and you should never rely solely on location data from the GPS receiver and cellular radio networks for positioning or navigation. 45
