About GPS

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. GPS signals may not be

available inside buildings or underground and may be impaired by materials such as

concrete and metal.
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.
The trip meter has limited accuracy, and rounding errors may occur. Accuracy can also

be affected by availability and quality of GPS signals.

GPS receiver

Your device has an internal GPS receiver. For the best signal from the satellites, place

your device in a position with an unobstructed view to the sky.
You can use GPS to support the Maps application. Find out your location, or measure

distances and plot coordinates.

Navigate to your destination

You can upgrade Maps to a full navigation system to be used by car and by foot. You

need a regional licence for the full navigation system. The car navigation is fully voice-

guided with two and three-dimensional map views. Pedestrian navigation is limited to

a speed of 30 km/h (18.6 miles/h) and provides no voice guidance. The navigation
