Turn off location aiding
Depending on your wireless service provider and wireless network, this feature might not be supported. By default, location
aiding is turned on to improve the performance of GPS technology. When location aiding is turned on, your BlackBerry® device
connects to a central server periodically, which can increase your data service charges. To avoid these charges, you can turn off
location aiding, but it might take longer for your device to get your GPS location. For more information, contact your wireless
service provider.

• To turn off location aiding, change the Location Aiding field to Disabled.
