The Global Positioning System
The Global Positioning System (GPS) is operated by the
United States government, which is solely responsible for
accuracy and maintenance of the system. 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 and natural obstacles
as well as weather conditions. The GPS receiver should only
be used outdoors to allow reception of GPS signals. GPS
should only be used as a navigation aid. It should not be
used for precise location measurement and you should
never rely solely on location data from the GPS receiver for
positioning or navigation.
You may receive a request from a network service to
receive your position information. Service providers may
offer information about local topics, such as weather or
traffic conditions, based upon the location of your device.
When you receive a position request, a message is
displayed showing the service that is making the request.
Select
Accept
to allow your position information to be
sent, or select
Reject
to deny the request.
