About positioning methods
Maps displays your location on the map using GPS, A-GPS, Wi-Fi, or network (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 assists your

GPS receiver, improving the speed and accuracy of the positioning. In addition, other

enhancements to GPS may be used to improve and speed up the positioning. These

may require transferring small amounts of data over the cellular network.

Wi-Fi 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

cellular system your phone is currently connected to.

To save on data costs, you can deactivate A-GPS, Wi-Fi, and network (cell ID) based

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

much longer, the location can be more inaccurate, and the GPS receiver can lose

location more frequently.

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.
