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 the

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.

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 yards to several miles.

Deactivate positioning methods
Assisted GPS (A-GPS), Wi-Fi, and network (cell ID) positioning help your phone

determine your current location more quickly and accurately. To save on data costs,

especially when abroad, you can deactivate one or several of the services.

The Assisted GPS (A-GPS) network service retrieves location information using the

cellular network, and assists GPS in calculating your current location.

Your phone is preconfigured to use the Nokia A-GPS service, if no service provider-

specific A-GPS settings are available. The assistance data is retrieved from the Nokia

A-GPS service server only when needed.

You must have a mobile data internet access point defined in your phone to retrieve

assistance data.
