About positioning methods

Maps displays your location on the map

using GPS, A-GPS, Wi-Fi, or cell ID based

positioning.
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 positioning improves position

accuracy when GPS signals are not

available, especially when you are indoors

or between tall buildings.
With cell ID based positioning, the

position is determined through the

antenna tower your cellular phone is

currently connected to.
Depending on the available positioning

method, the accuracy of positioning may

vary from a few meters to several

kilometers.
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.
