 Predicted GPS (P-GPS)

-P-GPS is a form of assistance, where the device can download up to two weeks of predicted satellite ephemerides data.
+P-GPS is a form of assistance, where the device can download predicted satellite ephemerides data for several days into the future.
 Normally, devices connect to the cellular network approximately every two hours for up-to-date satellite ephemeris information or they download the ephemeris data from the acquired satellites.
 P-GPS enables devices to determine the exact orbital location of the satellite without connecting to the network every two hours with a trade-off of reduced accuracy of the calculated position over time.
 Note that P-GPS requires more memory compared to regular A-GNSS.
 
-Also, note that due to satellite clock inaccuracies, not all functional satellites will have ephemerides data valid for two weeks in the downloaded P-GPS package.
+Also, note that due to satellite clock inaccuracies, not all functional satellites will have ephemerides data valid when nearing the end of the prediction period in the downloaded P-GPS package.
 This means that the number of satellites having valid predicted ephemerides reduces in number roughly after ten days.
 Hence, the GNSS module needs to download the ephemeris data from the satellite broadcast if no predicted ephemeris is found for that satellite to be able to use the satellite.

 Predicted GPS (P-GPS) is a form of assistance that reduces the :term:`Time to First Fix (TTFF)`, the time needed by a GNSS module to estimate its position.
 It is provided through :term:`nRF Cloud` services.
-In P-GPS, nRF Cloud provides data containing information about the estimated orbits (`Ephemerides <Ephemeris_>`_) of the 32 GPS satellites for up to two weeks.
+In P-GPS, nRF Cloud provides data containing information about the estimated orbits (`Ephemerides <Ephemeris_>`_) of the 32 GPS satellites for multiple days into the future.
 Each set of ephemerides predictions is valid for a specific four-hour period within the set of all provided predictions.
 A device using P-GPS downloads the ephemeris predictions from the cloud, stores them in its flash memory, and later injects them into the GNSS module when needed.
 
 P-GPS is designed for devices that are frequently disconnected from the cloud but need periodic GNSS fixes as quickly as possible to save power.
 This is possible because a device does not need to download ephemerides from the satellite broadcast.
 However, P-GPS should not be used for general use cases that already work with :term:`Assisted GNSS (A-GNSS)` only.
 
-.. note::
-   When using two-week ephemeris prediction sets, the TTFF towards the end of the second week increases due to the accumulated errors in the predictions and the decreases in the number of satellite ephemerides in the later prediction periods.
-
-P-GPS requires a cloud connection approximately once a week to download new predictions, depending on the configuration settings.
+P-GPS requires a cloud connection to download new predictions.
 With A-GNSS, new ephemerides are needed on average every two hours, or if the fix interval is longer, whenever GNSS is started.
