Location Based Services
Location Based Services (LBS) is an implementation of GPS technology
that allows you to use the geographical position of your device for
geotagging of photos and mapping functions. Once you turn GPS on, your
device will automatically update your location at pre-set intervals. To turn
GPS on:
1 Press JUMP , then press MENU and select Location & Privacy.
2 Select GPS On: Show Location to show your location. Conversely, GPS
Off: Hide location hides your location.
You may experience decreased battery life when GPS is on.
Please note that certain challenging environments, for example many
indoor and outdoor locations such as urban areas surrounded by high-
rises, may result in it taking longer for the device to triangulate your
location or potentially result in a failure to register your location at all.
When GPS is set to on, the camera will grab your last known location and
geotag your photos if you have opted to do so. To select photo geotagging,
navigate to the camera application, press MENU and Select Photo
Settings. Select the Turn geotagging on option.
Typically, you do not need to manage your LBS updates or settings.
Reasons to do so include wanting to manually start the location update
process rather than waiting for the device to automatically update, viewing
your last known location or changing your display unit preference. To
manage these settings, do the following:
1 Press JUMP , then press MENU and select Location & Privacy.
2 Update location – Use this option to start a GPS update. This can also
be achieved by navigating to the Advanced menu.
3 Select the Advanced menu item to view the following:
n Last Known Location – Displays the coordinates of your last known
location, when the information was last updated and accuracy data.
n Permissions – Downloaded applications require permission to find
your location. Use this screen to change an applications’ permission
status.
