When you activate A-GPS, your device receives
useful satellite information from an assistance data
server over the cellular network. With the help of
assisted data, your device can obtain the 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.
