data can be affected by adjustments to GPS satellites madeby the United States government and is subject to changewith the United States Department of Defense civil GPS policyand the Federal Radionavigation Plan. Accuracy can also beaffected by poor satellite geometry. Availability and qualityof GPS signals may be affected by your location, buildings,natural obstacles, and weather conditions. The GPS receivershould only be used outdoors to allow reception of GPSsignals.Any GPS should not be used for precise locationmeasurement, and you should never rely solely on locationdata from the GPS receiver and cellular radio networks forpositioning or navigation.To enable or disable different positioning methods, selectMenu > Applications > Location and Positioning >Positioning methods.Assisted GPS (A-GPS)Your device also supports Assisted GPS (A-GPS).A-GPS is a network service.Assisted GPS (A-GPS) is used to retrieve assistance data overa packet data connection, which assists in calculating thecoordinates of your current location when your device isreceiving signals from satellites.When you activate A-GPS, your device receives useful satelliteinformation from an assistance data server over the cellularnetwork. With the help of assisted data, your device canobtain the GPS position faster.Your device is preconfigured to use the Nokia A-GPS service,if no service provider-specific A-GPS settings are available.The assistance data is retrieved from the Nokia A-GPS serviceserver only when needed.You must have an internet access point defined in the deviceto retrieve assistance data from the Nokia A-GPS service overa packet data connection. To define an access point for A-GPS,select Menu > Applications > Location andPositioning > Positioning server > Access point. Awireless LAN (WLAN) access point cannot be used for thisservice. Only a packet data internet access point can be used.Your device asks for the internet access point when GPS isused for the first time.Hold your device correctlyWhen using the GPS receiver, ensure you do not cover theantenna with your hand.Establishing a GPS connection may take froma couple of seconds to several minutes.Establishing a GPS connection in a vehiclemay take longer.The GPS receiver draws its power from thedevice battery. Using the GPS receiver maydrain the battery faster.Positioning (GPS)© 2008 Nokia. All rights reserved.62
