Tips on creating a GPS connectionCheck satellite signal statusTo check how many satellites your device has found, and whether your device isreceiving satellite signals, select Menu > Applications > Location and GPSdata > Options > Satellite status.If your device has found satellites, a bar for eachsatellite is shown in the satellite info view. The longerthe bar, the stronger the satellite signal. When yourdevice has received enough data from the satellitesignal to calculate your location, the bar color changes.To view the positions of found satellites, select Chg.view.Initially your device must receive signals from at least four satellites to be able tocalculate the coordinates of your location. When the initial calculation has beenmade, it may be possible to continue calculating the coordinates of your locationwith three satellites. However, the accuracy is generally better when more satellitesare found.If no satellite signal can be found, consider the following:● If you are indoors, go outdoors to receive a better signal.● If you are outdoors, move to a more open space.● Ensure that your hand does not cover the GPS antenna of your device.● If the weather conditions are bad, the signal strength may be affected.● Some vehicles have tinted (athermic) windows, which may block the satellitesignals.Position requestsYou may receive a request from a network service to receive your positioninformation. Service providers may offer information about local topics, such asweather or traffic conditions, based on the location of your device.Positioning (GPS)© 2010 Nokia. All rights reserved. 97
