About location services

Indexterm: "location"
Use your device to find out where you are. There are two methods: GPS and wireless
networks. Enable the wireless networks option if you only need your approximate
location, and want it fast. If you want a more exact position, and have a clear view of
the sky, enable the GPS option. In situations where the wireless network connection
is weak, you should enable both options to ensure that your location is found.
Sony does not warrant the accuracy of any location services including but not limited to
navigational services.
