GPS & AGPS
GPS & AGPS Your mobile device can use Global Positioning System (GPS) signals for
location-based applications. GPS uses satellites controlled by the U.S. government
that are subject to changes implemented in accordance with the Department of
Defense policy and the Federal Radio Navigation Plan. These changes may affect
the performance of location technology on your mobile device.
Your mobile device can also use Assisted Global Positioning System (AGPS), which
obtains information from the mobile network to improve GPS performance. AGPS
uses your wireless service provider's network and therefore airtime, data charges
and/or additional charges may apply in accordance with your service plan. Contact
your wireless service provider for details.
Your Location
Location-based information includes information that can be used to determine the
approximate location of a mobile device. Mobile phones which are connected to a
wireless network transmit location-based information. Devices enabled with GPS or
AGPS technology also transmit location-based information. Additionally, if you use
applications that require location-based information (e.g. driving directions) such
applications transmit location-based information. This location-based information
may be shared with third parties, including your wireless service provider,
applications providers, Motorola and other third parties providing services.
Emergency Calls
When you make an emergency call, the mobile network may activate the AGPS technology in
your mobile device to tell the emergency responders your approximate location.
AGPS has limitations and might not work in your area. Therefore:
• Always tell the emergency responder your location to the best of your ability; and
• Remain on the phone for as long as the emergency responder instructs you.
Performance Tips
• Go outside and away from underground locations, covered vehicles, structures
with metal or concrete roofs, tall buildings and foliage. Indoor performance may
improve if you move closer to windows, but some window sun shielding films
can block satellite signals.
• Move away from radios, entertainment equipment and other electronic devices.
