Positioning methods

Your phone shows your location on the map using a satellite positioning system, Wi-Fi, or

network (Cell ID) based positioning.

The availability, accuracy and completeness of the location info depend on, for example, your

location, surroundings, and third party sources, and may be limited. Location information may

not be available, for example, inside buildings or underground. For privacy information related

to positioning methods, see the Microsoft Privacy Statement.

Some satellite positioning systems may require transferring small amounts of data over the

mobile network. If you want to avoid data costs, for example when traveling, you can turn the

cellular data connection off in your phone settings.

Wi-Fi positioning improves positioning accuracy when satellite signals are not available,

especially when you are indoors or between tall buildings. If you're in a place where the use

of Wi-Fi is restricted, you can turn Wi-Fi off in your phone settings.

Note: Using Wi-Fi may be restricted in some countries. For example, in the EU, you are

only allowed to use 5150–5350 MHz Wi-Fi indoors, and in the USA and Canada, you are

only allowed to use 5.15–5.25 GHz Wi-Fi indoors. For more info, contact your local

authorities.
