							Maps and locations
Location services and sources 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.Sony does not warrant the accuracy of any location services including but not limited to
navigational services.
To enable location services
1 Drag the status bar downward, then tap 
.
2 Tap  Location services .
3 Drag the slider beside  Access to my location  to the right.
4 Tap  Agree  twice to confirm.
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 Drag the status bar downward, then tap 
.
2 Tap  Google  > Location settings .
3 Drag the slider beside  Let Google apps access your location  to the right.
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.
When you use features that require the GPS and GLONASS receiver to find your location,
make sure you have a clear view of the sky.
To enable GPS
1 Drag the status bar downward, then tap 
.
2 Tap  Location services .
3 Drag the slider beside  Access to my location  to the right.
4 Tap  Agree  to confirm.
When you enable GPS, the GLONASS system gets enabled automatically.
Getting the best performance
The first time you use the GPS it can take 5 to 10 minutes for your location to be found.
To help the search, make sure you have a clear view of the sky. Stand still and don't
cover the GPS antenna (the highlighted area in the image). The GPS signals can pass
through clouds and plastic, but not through most solid objects such as buildings and
mountains. If your location isn't found after a few minutes, move to another location.
