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.
