Tools 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 the phone's display. 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. See "GPS Privacy Options" on page 88. IMPORTANT: Things to Keep in Mind If you are using the GPS feature of your phone 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 phone WILL NOT WORK. Such situations include but are not limited to: ⅷ In underground locations. ⅷ Inside of buildings, trains, or other covered vehicles. ⅷ Under any other metal or concrete roof or structure. ⅷ Between tall buildings or under dense tree-cover. ⅷ Near a powerful radio or television tower. ⅷ When your GPS antenna is covered (for example, by your hand or other object) or facing the ground. ⅷ In temperature extremes outside the operating limits of your phone. Walking or driving very slowly may also substantially reduce GPS performance. Even where location information can be calculated in such situations, it may take much longer to do so, and your location estimate may not be as accurate. Therefore, in any 911 call, always report the location to the emergency response center if you can and if you cannot, remain on your phone for as long as the emergency response center instructs you. Even where adequate signals from multiple satellites are available, your GPS feature will only provide an approximate location, often within 150 feet (45 meters) but sometimes much further from your actual location. Advice on how to improve GPS performance is Section 2F. Tools 119
