About assisted GPS (A-GPS)
Your device supports A-GPS (network service). 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.
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.
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.
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.
