Positioning methods

Your phone shows your location on the map using GPS, A-GPS, Wi-Fi, or network (Cell ID) based

positioning.
The availability, accuracy and completeness of the location info depend on, for example, your

location, surroundings, and third party sources, and may be limited. Location info may not be

available, for example, inside buildings or underground. For privacy info related to positioning

methods, see the Nokia Privacy Policy.
The Assisted GPS (A-GPS) network service retrieves location info using the cellular network, and

assists GPS in calculating your current location.
A-GPS and other enhancements to GPS may require transferring small amounts of data over the

cellular network. If you want to avoid data costs, for example when travelling, you can switch the

mobile data connection off in your phone settings.
Wi-Fi positioning improves positioning accuracy when satellite signals are not available, especially

when you are indoors or between tall buildings. If you're in a place where the use of Wi-Fi is restricted,

you can switch Wi-Fi off in your phone settings.
The trip meter may not be accurate, depending on the availability and quality of your satellite

connection.
