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
