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.
