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.

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.

My position

marks your current position, if

available. When your device is searching

for your position, blinks. If your

position is not available, indicates your

last known position.
If only cell ID based positioning is

available, a red halo around the

positioning icon indicates the general

area you might be in. In densely populated

areas, the accuracy of the estimate

increases, and the red halo is smaller than

in lightly populated areas.
