GPS Enabled
The United States government maintains an
almanac of data about where GPS satellites are as
they orbit the Earth. This information is available to
your phone. Keeping your satellite almanac up to
date helps your phone determine your location more
quickly.
The almanac contains information about the location
of satellites, their operational status, and other
satellite information. Keeping this information
updated enhances the performance of your GPS
feature. In most cases, your phone will be able to
get a fix in strong satellite signal conditions with
outdated almanac data, but it may take longer.
Note: When you make an emergency call, your
phone does not rely upon the almanac to
determine your location.
If your satellite almanac data is out of date, your
phone may prompt you to update it. Follow the
instructions that appear on the phone’s display. You
may be asked to go to a web site or call a customer
care number.

the location of your phone. However, location
information may still be available to the phone’s
owner, fleet manager, or account administrator.
•Unrestricted — All applications may view the
location of your phone, without notifying you.
• By Permission — When an application attempts
to view the location of your phone, you will be
prompted to give permission. However, location
information may still be available to the phone’s
owner, fleet manager, or account administrator.

transmission of location information during
