Turn off location aiding or location data
Location aiding and location data, if available for your BlackBerry smartphone, improve the performance of GPS
technology, but because these features use the wireless network, your data service charges might be increased. To avoid
these charges, you can turn off location aiding or location data, but it might take longer for your smartphone to get your
GPS location. For more information about data service charges, contact your wireless service provider.
