The Assisted GPS (A-GPS) network service retrieves location information using the
cellular network, and assists GPS in calculating your current location.
Your phone 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 a mobile data internet access point defined in the phone to retrieve
assistance data.
Note: The use of assisted positioning methods may involve exchanging your
location data, wireless network identifiers along with your unique phone or network
service provider identifiers with a location server. Nokia processes this information
anonymously. Depending on your positioning settings and your use of location
services, your phone may connect to other service providers’ servers, which are not
controlled or operated by Nokia. Check the privacy policies of such service providers
to understand how they process your location data.
