■ 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.
