■ About GPS Your device has an internal GPS receiver. 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. The GPS receiver should only be used outdoors to allow reception of GPS signals. Any 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. ■ Assisted GPS Your device supports Assisted GPS (A-GPS, network service). Assisted GPS (A-GPS) is used to retrieve assistance data over a packet data connection, which assists in calculating the coordinates of your current location when your device is receiving signals from satellites. Contact your service provider for the correct internet access point and charges related to the service. Your device is preconfigured to use the Nokia A-GPS service, if no service provider-specific A-GPS settings are available. The assistance data is retrieved from the Nokia A-GPS service server only when needed. To use A-GPS, you must have a packet data internet access point defined.

About GPS
Your device has an internal GPS receiver.
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. The GPS receiver should only be used outdoors to allow
reception of GPS signals.
Any 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.
Assisted GPS
Your device supports Assisted GPS (A-GPS, network service).
Assisted GPS (A-GPS) is used to retrieve assistance data over a packet data connection,
which assists in calculating the coordinates of your current location when your device is
receiving signals from satellites.
Contact your service provider for the correct internet access point and charges
related to the service.
Your device is preconfigured to use the Nokia A-GPS service, if no service
provider-specific A-GPS settings are available. The assistance data is retrieved
from the Nokia A-GPS service server only when needed.
To use A-GPS, you must have a packet data internet access point defined. See
Positioning settings p. 25.
