Assisted GPS (A-GPS) is used to retrieve assistance data over a packet data

connection, which assists in calculating your current location when your device is

receiving signals from satellites.
When you activate A-GPS, your device receives useful satellite information from an

assistance data server over the cellular network. With the help of assisted data, your

device can obtain the GPS position faster.
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.
A-GPS is an internet service. When using A-GPS, it may incur data charges. For

information about costs in your home network, contact your service provider.
To disable the A-GPS service, select
