Chapter 11 Finding and Recording Places11.1 Guidelines and Preparation for Using GPSTo ensure safety on the road, follow these guidelines before and when using your phone for GPS navigation.When using GPS navigation software in the car, always plot your GPS route before starting to drive. Do not try to configure the GPS navigation software while driving.The plotted GPS route is only for driving reference. It should not interfere with actual driving behavior.When using the phone inside a vehicle, use the car holder to mount the phone securely in place. Avoid placing the phone in the areas shown in the following diagram:Do not place where it will block the driver’s vision.Do not place where air bags could deploy.Do not place anywhere in the vehicle without securing the phone in the holder.1.2.3. •••
Chapter 11 Finding and Recording Places 209Use the GPS system cautiously. Users shall be liable for any damages resulting from negligent operation of the system.Do not leave your phone in a vehicle or expose the phone to direct sunlight to avoid overheating the battery, which could pose damage to the phone or risk to the vehicle.The GPS signal cannot pass through solid non-transparent objects. Signal reception may be affected by obstructions such as high-rise buildings, tunnels, bridges, forests, weather (rainy or cloudy days), etc. If the vehicle’s visor contains metal, it will be difficult for the GPS signal to pass through.Other nearby wireless communication products (such as mobile phones or radar-detecting devices) may interfere with the satellite signal, resulting in unstable signal reception.The Global Positioning System (GPS) is built and operated by the US Defense Department. The Department is responsible for the accuracy and maintenance of the system. Any changes that the Department makes may affect the accuracy and function of the GPS system.11.2 Downloading Satellite PositionsBefore using your phone for GPS navigation, open the Download satellites screen in your phone’s location settings to download current satellite position and timing information. Downloading this satellite position data significantly speeds up the time for determining your GPS location. Your phone downloads the position data from Web servers instead of from satellites using its Wi-FI, ActiveSync or GPRS/3G Internet connection.•••••

This database is continually being improved. If your nearest cell tower or Wi-Fi hotspot is new to the database, estimation of your position may be inaccurate. If the footprint name does not reflect your actual location, you can change and enter your own footprint name. See “Editing a footprint” for details.Selecting and saving a photo from Albums as a footprintWhen you select a location’s photo from Albums that is already geotagged with the GPS position, this information will be added to the new footprint.1.
