■ Maps and GPS
You can use the global positioning system (GPS) with
the Maps application to find out your location, or
measure distances and coordinates.
Before you can use the GPS function with your phone,
you must pair your phone with a compatible external
GPS receiver using Bluetooth wireless technology. For
more information, see the user guide for your GPS
device.
After pairing the Bluetooth GPS device with the phone,
it may take several minutes for the phone to display
your current location. Subsequent connections should
be faster, unless the GPS has not been used for several
days, or you are very far away from the last place you
used it, it may take several minutes to detect and
display your location.
The Global Positioning System (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 Radio navigation 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 should only be 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.
■ Extra services
Maps also supports navigation with voice guidance,
which requires a regional licence. To use this service,
you need a compatible external GPS device that
supports Bluetooth wireless technology.
To purchase a navigation service with voice guidance,
select Menu > Maps > Extra services > Purchase
navigation or Check map updates, and follow the
instructions.
To use navigation with voice guidance, you must allow
the Maps application to use a network connection.
The navigation licence is connected to your SIM card. If
you insert another SIM card in your phone, you are
asked to purchase a licence when starting navigation.
