Assisted GPS (A-GPS)

Your device also supports assisted GPS (A-GPS).
A-GPS requires network support.
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.
When you activate A-GPS, your device receives useful satellite information from an

assistance data server over the cellular network. With the help of assisted data, your

device can obtain the GPS position faster.
Your device is preconfigured to use the Nokia A-GPS service, if no service provider-

specific A-GPS settings are available. The assistance data is retrieved from the Nokia A-

GPS service server only when needed.
To disable the A-GPS service, select

You must have an internet access point defined in the device to retrieve assistance data

from the Nokia A-GPS service over a packet data connection. The access point for A-GPS

can be defined in positioning settings. A wireless LAN (WLAN) access point cannot be

used for this service. Only a packet data internet access point can be used. Your device

asks you to select the internet access point when GPS is used for the first time.
