Using the GPS receiver maydrain the battery faster.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 >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 your location, the bar colourchanges.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 your location. When theinitial calculation has been made, it may be possible tocontinue calculating your location with three satellites.However, the accuracy is generally better when moresatellites are 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 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.
