GPS must be enabled.

GPS services may not be available if you are indoors. (You may be able to get a GPS lock if your

device is very close to a window.) GPS receivers must be able to lock onto the global positioning

satellites to accurately determine position. The number of obstructions present indoors often

makes accurate position determination impossible.
