Tips on creating a GPS connectionCheck satellite signal statusTo check how many satellites your device has found, andwhether your device is receiving satellite signals, selectMenu > Applications > Location and GPS data >Position > Options > Satellite status.If your device has found satellites,a bar for each satellite is shown inthe satellite info view. The longerthe bar, the stronger the satellitesignal. When your device hasreceived enough data from thesatellite signal to calculate the coordinates of your location,the bar turns blue.To view the positions of found satellites, select Chg. view.Initially your device must receive signals from at least foursatellites to be able to calculate the coordinates of yourlocation. When the initial calculation has been made, it maybe possible to continue calculating the coordinates of yourlocation with three satellites. However, the accuracy isgenerally better when more satellites are found.If your device cannot find the satellite signal, consider thefollowing:● 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 ofyour device.● If the weather conditions are bad, the signal strength maybe affected.● Some vehicles have tinted (athermic) windows, whichmay block the satellite signals.Position requestsYou may receive a request from a network service to receiveyour position information. Service providers may offerinformation about local topics, such as weather or trafficconditions, based on the location of your device.When you receive a position request, a message is displayedshowing the service that is making the request.
