AGPS limitations & tips
Your phone uses Assisted
Global Positioning System
(AGPS) satellite signals to estimate
your location. If your phone cannot
find strong satellite signals, your
AGPS might be slower, less accurate,
or it might not work at all. AGPS
provides only an approximate
location, often within 150 feet
(45 meters) but sometimes much
farther from your actual location.
To improve AGPS accuracy:
•
Go outside and away from
underground locations,
covered vehicles, structures
with metal or concrete roofs,
tall buildings, and foliage.
Indoor performance might
improve if you move closer to
windows, but some window
sun shielding films can block
satellite signals.
•
Move away from radios,
entertainment equipment, and
other electronic devices that
