Important:
Maps, directions, and location-based apps provided by Apple depend
on data services provided by third parties. These data services are subject to change
and may not be available in all geographic areas, resulting in maps, directions, or
location-based information that may be unavailable, inaccurate, or incomplete.
Compare the information provided on iPad to your surroundings, and defer to posted
signs to resolve any discrepancies. To provide your location, data is collected which
doesn’t identify you personally. If you don’t want this data collected, don’t use the
feature. Not using this feature doesn’t affect the non–location-based functionality of
your iPad.
If location services is turned off when you open Maps, you may be asked to turn it
on. You can use Maps without turning on location services. See “Location Services” on
page 153.
