How to
Turn GPS on or off
Your mobile phone can determine your geographical position using GPS (Global Positioning System). The information about your location can be used by a number of applications on your mobile phone such as navigation, the search function or weather forecast.


Slide your finger downwards starting from the top of the screen.


Tap the settings icon.


Tap General.


Tap GPS.


Tap the indicator next to "GPS" to turn the function on or off.


Tap Positioning mode.


If you select High accuracy, your mobile phone can find your exact position using GPS satellites, the mobile network and nearby Wi-Fi networks. Satellite-based GPS requires a clear view of the sky.


If you select Low battery use, your mobile phone can find your approximate position using the mobile network and nearby Wi-Fi networks.


If you select Device only, your mobile phone can find your exact position using GPS satellites but it may take longer as there is no access to supplementary information from nearby mobile or Wi-Fi networks.
