GPS Enabled
The United States government maintains an
almanac of data about where GPS satellites are as
they orbit the Earth. This information is available to
your phone. Keeping your satellite almanac up to
date helps your phone determine your location
more quickly.
The almanac contains information about the
location of satellites, their operational status, and
other satellite information. Keeping this information
updated enhances the performance of your GPS
feature. In most cases, your phone will be able to
get a fix in strong satellite signal conditions with
outdated almanac data, but it may take longer.
Note: When you make an emergency call, your
phone does not rely upon the almanac to
determine your location.
If your satellite almanac data is out of date, your
phone may prompt you to update it. Follow the
instructions that appear on the phone’s display.
