The global positioning system (GPS) is a satellite-based navigation system used for

calculating your location. Assisted GPS (A-GPS) is a network service that sends you GPS

data, improving the speed and accuracy of the positioning.
Wi-Fi network positioning improves position accuracy when GPS signals are not

available, especially when you are indoors or between tall buildings.
With network (cell ID) based positioning, the position is determined through the

antenna system your cellular phone is currently connected to.
When you use Maps for the first time, you are prompted to define the internet access

point to use to download map information, use A-GPS, or connect to a Wi-Fi network.
To avoid network service costs, you can disable A-GPS, Wi-Fi, and network (cell ID) based

positioning in your device positioning settings, but calculating your location may take

much longer. For more information about positioning settings, see the user guide of

your device.
The availability and quality of GPS signals may be affected by your location, satellite

positions, buildings, natural obstacles, weather conditions, and adjustments to GPS

satellites made by the United States government. GPS signals may not be available inside

buildings or underground.
Do not use GPS for precise location measurement, and never rely solely on the location

information provided by GPS and cellular networks.
The trip meter may not be accurate, depending on the availability and quality of your

GPS connection.

Note: Using Wi-Fi may be restricted in some countries. For example, in France, you

are only allowed to use Wi-Fi indoors. For more information, contact your local

authorities.
Depending on the available positioning methods, the accuracy of positioning may vary

from a few metres to several kilometers.
