About GPS

The coordinates in the GPS are expressed in the degrees and

decimal degrees format using the international WGS-84

coordinate system. The availability of the coordinates may

vary by region.
The Global Positioning System (GPS) is operated by the

government of the United States, which is solely responsible

for its accuracy and maintenance. The accuracy of location

data can be affected by adjustments to GPS satellites made

by the United States government and is subject to change

with the United States Department of Defense civil GPS policy

and the Federal Radionavigation Plan. Accuracy can also be

affected by poor satellite geometry. Availability and quality

of GPS signals may be affected by your location, buildings,

natural obstacles, and weather conditions. GPS signals may

not be available inside buildings or underground and may be

impaired by materials such as concrete and metal.
GPS should not be used for precise location measurement,

and you should never rely solely on location data from the

GPS receiver and cellular radio networks for positioning or

navigation.
The trip meter has limited accuracy, and rounding errors may

occur. Accuracy can also be affected by availability and quality

of GPS signals.
Different positioning methods can be enabled or disabled in

positioning settings.
