Let's start by explaining what A-GPS is and how it differs from GPS. In most cases Cell Phones don't have enough good receiver, which could ensure reliable signal reception indoors or between high-rise buildings. This is where the so-called A-GPS comes to the rescue, which in most other mobile phones It's simply called GPS.
A-GPS Assisted GPS) a system that speeds up the determination of coordinates by a GPS receiver // Wikipedia
Most big problem For GPS receiver is the so-called “cold start”. It is at this moment that the search for satellites occurs. Depending on the external factors The start-up process may be delayed, which not only causes discomfort, but also leads to increased energy consumption. A-GPS technology helps to cope not only with this problem, but also to simplify it somewhat life gps receiver.
In the case of iPhone this means that current position will be determined at GPS assistance, Wi-Fi and stations mobile operators(the craftsmen from Apple managed to use only 2 antennas for all this, which are located in unexpected places - a ring around the camera, an audio jack, a metal rim around the screen, etc. All this data will be processed by an auxiliary server. This is exactly what it is advantage of A-GPS over GPS: the first works much faster, and the second “slows down” during a “cold start” when searching for satellites. regular GPS receiver for positioning you need several strong signals and a certain amount of time to obtain coordinates. With A-GPS, the auxiliary server itself tells your phone where the nearest satellites are, thereby reducing search time. In addition, this approach also saves battery.
The basis of the picture was taken from the site stariy.com
Unlike many other phones, the A-GPS in the iPhone will work without connection to the network, which will allow you to use it in nature, and indeed anywhere in the world where a satellite signal is received (however, do not forget that you will need Google Maps, you will have to download it in advance).
On this moment It is unknown how quickly A-GPS will drain the battery: the iPhone will automatically turn the positioning system on and off as needed, which will save charge. It is assumed that during its active operation (constant position tracking, etc.) it will still consume quite a lot.
Having realized how good the GPS will be in the iPhone, we move on to the most interesting part - navigation. This is where Apple, as always, is in its repertoire. Current version The SDK prohibits its use for real-time navigation (“Real-Time Route Guidance”). But it's not all bad, GPS industry giant TomTom said that they are already working on a navigator for the iPhone. Apparently, large companies have to somehow obtain permission to use the SDK on an individual basis. Thus, we will have to spend additional money to turn the iPhone into a usable navigator. But we are apparently no strangers :-).
iPhone, iPad and iPod touch have a built-in function - GPS or “Geolocation”. Many built-in and third party applications they ask for access to it, but before giving it, they need to decide why they need it.
Why do you need GPS?
Geolocation built into Apple devices allows you to determine your location. Because this personal information, all applications in a row cannot receive it without your permission. Your location can be useful when finding a route on a map or in online stores that decide where to bring goods to you. Some sites request geolocation information in order to find out whether a particular feature is available in your region or not. IN Lately There are games that also depend on your location. For example, these are applications with augmented reality or games in which you need to be in some real-life place.
Based on the above, we can conclude: GPS - useful feature, since it allows you to automatically provide information about you that is useful for Internet resources, and also, thanks to geolocation, you can play modern games and use useful applications. At the same time, you can independently configure which applications can receive information about your location and which cannot. The first time you launch a site or application that requires GPS data, you will be prompted to choose whether to grant permission or not. But you can change your decision through the device settings; this will be discussed in the next paragraph of the article - “Activating and deactivating GPS.”
Give permission to the application to receive GPS dataActivating and deactivating GPS

What to do if geolocation doesn't work
If geolocation does not work for you, then first check whether your mobile Internet connection is working or Wi-Fi networks. GPS does not work without an Internet connection.
The next step is to reconnect the GPS: turn it off, turn off the Internet, reconnect the Internet and geolocation. If this does not help, reboot your device and repeat the above steps. Also, make sure that the app that does not have GPS has permission to use it. This can be done through the device settings described in the “Activating and deactivating GPS” section.
Third step - data reset:
It is also worth considering that geolocation may not work in enclosed spaces and hard-to-reach places. In this case, there will be no signal and GPS will not be able to obtain information about your location.
Geolocation is a useful feature that allows Internet services and applications to obtain information about where you are. This is very convenient, unless for some reason you want to hide your location from them. At any time, you can configure which programs installed on the device can receive geolocation information and which cannot.
The GPS feature is highly appreciated if you find yourself in unfamiliar territory or don't know the route. Also useful in using many applications and other functions. Despite the fact that Apple equipment is high-tech and reliable, no one is immune from sudden breakdowns. If you find that GPS does not work on your iPhone 5, you should contact a specialized service center for help. However, before you go to the workshop, you can try to fix the problem with the navigation signal detection yourself.
Why doesn't GPS work on iPhone 5?
Correct functionality of the navigator depends on the quality of the radio signal and antenna. Symptoms of malfunction may include the following:
- no network signal,
- location is not updated
- incorrect data about the current location,
- incorrect display of compass direction,
- programs that use the navigator function do not find the location.
The most common causes of malfunction:
- mechanical damage to the smartphone,
- contact with liquid
- installation of pirated software,
- outdated version of iOS
How to check GPS and fix problem on iPhone 5s?
- To check the quality of the radio signal, you should leave the building in an open area so that the phone can pick up a signal from the satellite.
- Check your geolocation settings to see if the service is enabled by default.
- Allow important apps to access your location. Make sure you have made the correct settings.
- If geolocation is enabled and the navigator feature is not working, try disabling and re-enabling the service.
- You can also fix the problem by resetting your network and geo settings.
- Sometimes a simple reboot of the device and restoration via iTunes helps.

GPS was originally planned as a purely military project in the United States. But since the mid-90s, it began to be actively used for civilian purposes around the world. GPS is a system global positioning carried out using satellite navigation. To operate this system, 24 satellites are needed in Earth orbit (there are now more than 30).
The satellite transmits its coordinates to the receiving GPS device user and based on the duration of the signal, as well as based on the location of the satellites, the location of the device that received the signal is determined. To determine a three-dimensional position in space, it is necessary to receive reception from at least four satellites.
This positioning system is very convenient for various purposes. In particular, to determine your location, plot a route, etc. Phones also have built-in GPS receivers. The company's apparatus was no exception apple iphone 5s. Users can use the phone as a navigator, and special applications give out the locations of the nearest cafes, hospitals, attractions and can even analyze the situation of traffic jams.
GPS failure on iPhone 5s
If it is working properly GPS operation on iPhone 5s, after launching the GPS device, it searches for nearby satellites, receives their coordinates and electronic card displays the user's location, and you see on the screen a flickering blue dot with a small circle - the zone of your position. The narrower the circle, the more accurate the information about the location of the device.
It happens that it is impossible to accurately determine its coordinates due to interference that occurs between the satellite and the phone. Such obstacles include buildings and various objects, even tree leaves. Therefore, this system should only be used in open space for maximum accuracy.
Another situation is indicative when, even being in the open iPhone terrain cannot determine your location in any way. This means that the GPS needs to be replaced. iPhone module 5s. There are, of course, damages that can be corrected by simply repairing the GPS iPhone 5s. But this can only be finally clarified by performing full diagnostics devices.
Symptoms:
- the phone can't pick up GPS signal, the blue one on the screen is generally inactive and/or gray;
- the signal catches, but takes a very long time and/or takes a long time to determine the location;
- shows coordinates incorrectly, not accurately;
- When you turn on GPS it gives an error.
You should also take into account that GPS iPhone 5s only works if there is mobile internet or connected Wi-Fi, because otherwise he simply has nowhere to take the data from. You can, of course, install a program with downloaded maps on the device and, if this feature is supported by the operator, search for coordinates using mobile towers, but a slightly different principle applies here than with GPS.
In any case, if you experience interruptions in GPS operation, you need to contact a service center. Here they will tell you whether your device needs GPS repair for iPhone 5s. Also, after making a diagnosis, they will answer whether it will be simply repairing the iPhone 5s GPS antenna or replacing the iPhone 5s GPS module.
It is worth noting that replacing the GPS module of an iPhone 5s is a very complex process. Not many masters will be able to cope with this task, which already indicates an amateur in this matter. If you value your phone and want its functionality to be close to 100% again, have it repaired only in specialized service centers. You should not risk your device by replacing or repairing any of its system parts by specialists without proper training.
