Initially, your device must receive signals from at least four

satellites to be able to calculate the coordinates of your

location. When the initial calculation has been made, it may

be possible to continue calculating the coordinates of your

location with three satellites. However, the accuracy is

generally better when more satellites are found.

Position requests

You may receive a request from a network service to receive

your position information. Service providers may offer

information about local topics, such as weather or traffic

conditions, based on the location of your device.
When you receive a position request, the service that is

making the request is displayed. Select

position information to be sent or
