Use your device to find out where you are. There are two methods, or sources: GPS satellites
and wireless networks. Enable the wireless networks option (Wi-Fi and mobile networks) if
you only need your approximate location, and want it fast. If you want a more exact position,
and have a clear view of the sky, enable the GPS satellites option. In situations where the
wireless network connection is weak, you should enable both options to ensure that your
location is found. Both options are activated by default when you enable location services.
To enable location services
1. Open Settings, Tap Location access.
2. Check the Access to my location box
3. Tap Agree to confirm.
Note: When you enable location services, both GPS satellites and Google's location service
(Wi-Fi and cellular networks) get enabled by default. You can disable either option manually.
To allow Google apps to access your location
1. Open Settings, Tap Location access.
2. Check the Wi-Fi & mobile network location box
3. Tap Agree to confirm.
Note: You must be logged into your Google™ account to be able to use location services.
Using GPS
Your device has a GPS (Global Positioning System) receiver that uses satellite signals to
calculate your location. Your device also supports GLONASS (Global Navigation Satellite
System). Both systems can complement and replace each other, if necessary, to ensure
positioning accuracy and a smooth navigation experience. When you enable GPS, the
GLONASS system also gets enabled automatically.
To enable GPS
1. Open Settings, Tap Location access
2. Drag the slider beside Access to my location to the right.
