GPS and A-GPS
Your Vertu phone uses the Global Positioning System (GPS) and an internal GPS
receiver to obtain data on your location. GPS is operated by the government of the
United States, which is solely responsible for its accuracy and maintenance. The
accuracy of location data can be affected by adjustments to GPS satellites made by
the United States government and is subject to change with the United States
Department of Defense civil GPS policy and the Federal Radionavigation Plan.
Accuracy can also be affected by poor satellite geometry. Availability and quality of
GPS signals may be affected by your location, buildings, natural obstacles, and
weather conditions. The GPS receiver is best used outdoors to allow reception of
GPS signals.
Any GPS should not be used for precise location measurement, and you should
never rely solely on location data from the GPS receiver and cellular radio networks
for positioning or navigation.
The trip meter has limited accuracy, and rounding errors may occur. Accuracy can
also be affected by availability and quality of GPS signals.
Assisted GPS (A-GPS) is used to retrieve assistance data over a packet data
connection, which assists in calculating the coordinates of your current location when
your device is receiving signals from satellites.
Maps
Your Vertu phone comes with global maps pre-installed.
You can also download maps from the internet, or using the Map Loader application
available on the CD-ROM. For information on downloading the Map Loader
application, see Map Loader application in Getting started.
