Enabling a Location source
Before you use Google Maps and find your location or search
for places of interest, you must enable a location source. To
enable the location source you must enable the wireless
network, or enable the GPS satellites.
Important! The more location determining functions are
enabled, the more accurate the determination will
be of your position.
1. From the main Settings page, tap More tab ➔ Location
services.
2. Tap Access to my location to enable sharing your
location with requesting applications.
3. Tap Use GPS satellites to enable the GPS satellite.
4. Tap Use wireless networks to allow apps to use data
from sources such as Wi-Fi and mobile networks to
provide a better approximation of your current location.
To receive better GPS signals, avoid using your device in the
following conditions:
• inside a building or between buildings
• in a tunnel or underground passage
• in poor weather
• around high-voltage or electromagnetic fields
• in a vehicle with tinted windows
