Sometimes it may be necessary to update the A-GPS data on a smartphone like the Sony Xperia Z3. A-GPS stands for "Assisted" GPS and is a way to more accurate and faster positioning by GPS on your phone. The system uses GPS to determine location next to the GPS module in addition to the mobile data network back and can thereby provide faster and more accurate location data. Thus, the A-GPS data support integrated in the Sony Xperia Z3 GPS receiver at the destination location. Usually a lot of time is saved, because without A-GPS takes the definition of the own place sometimes up to five minutes. A-GPS is the determination may already have made little as 15 seconds.
