GPS & AGPS
Certain Samsung mobile devices can use a Global
Positioning System (GPS) signal for location-based
applications. A GPS uses satellites controlled by the U.S.
Government that are subject to changes implemented in
accordance with the Department of Defense policy and
the 2008 Federal Radio navigation Plan (FRP). Changes
may affect the performance of location-based
technology on your mobile device.
Certain Samsung mobile devices can also use an
Assisted Global Positioning System (AGPS), which
obtains information from the cellular network to improve
GPS performance. AGPS uses your wireless service
provider's network and therefore airtime, data charges,
and/or additional charges may apply in accordance with
your service plan. Contact your wireless service provider
for details.
Your Location
Location-based information includes information that
can be used to determine the approximate location of a
mobile device. Mobile devices which are connected to a
wireless network transmit location-based information.
Additionally, if you use applications that require
location-based information (e.g. driving directions), such
applications transmit location-based information. The
location-based information may be shared with
third-parties, including your wireless service provider,
applications providers, Samsung, and other third-parties
providing services.
Use of AGPS in Emergency Calls
When you make an emergency call, the cellular network
may activate AGPS technology in your mobile device to
tell the emergency responders your approximate
location.
AGPS has limitations and
might not work in your area .
