With a Phantom 3, the aircraft needs to know where you (and the RC unit) are, and it only gets that information from the phone or tablet you are using to on the RC unit. It gets the information from the GPS receiver in your phone/tablet, so first your phone/tablet must have a GPS fitted. Most modern phones/tablets do have a GPS, but it is not the case if it is an Apple product. Apple devices only have a GPS receiver fitted if they are the cellular version, the non-cellular ones have no GPS.
If you have an Android device, it must have Location Services enabled in order to send positional information to the aircraft. And in case you were going to ask, the display of hown many GPS satellites can be seen applies to the aircraft, not the phone/tablet.
