your phone. You will see this information the next time
you view the Position screen.
Enhancing GPS Performance
Sometimes the GPS feature of your phone may be
unable to complete a location calculation successfully.
To improve accuracy and increase your chances of a
successful calculation, do the following while your
phone is determining your approximate location:
ⅷ Stay in the open. The GPS feature works best where
there is nothing between your phone and a large
amount of open sky. If possible, go outside, away
from tall buildings and foliage.
ⅷ Hold your phone to enhance reception. Signals from
GPS satellites are transmitted to your GPS antenna,
which is in your phone antenna. Hold your phone
away from your body, giving the antenna clear
access to satellite signals. Do not cover the antenna
area with your fingers or anything else.
ⅷ Stand still. If possible, stand still until your phone is
finished determining your location. Moving your
phone at a walking pace while your phone is
calculating your approximate location may
substantially decrease GPS performance.
ⅷ In a car. When using the GPS Enabled feature in a
car, position your phone so that the GPS antenna
has good access to GPS signals through the car’s
windows. Typically, the GPS antenna has best access
to GPS signals in a car when placed near a window.
Note: Although moving your phone at a walking pace
decreases GPS performance, moving it at the speed of
a moving car does not.
