Establishing a GPS connection may takefrom a couple of seconds to severalminutes. Establishing a GPS connection ina vehicle may take longer.The GPS receiver draws its power from thedevice battery. Using the GPS receiver maydrain the battery faster.Tips on creating a GPS connectionThe location coordinate values may not be displayed, dueto local authorities’ requirements.Check 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 foundsatellites, a bar for eachsatellite is shown in the satelliteinfo view. The longer the bar,the stronger the satellite signal.When your device has receivedenough data from the satellite signal to calculate yourlocation, the bar colour changes.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 bettersignal.● If you are outdoors, move to a more open space.● Ensure that your hand does not cover the GPS antennaof your device.● If the weather conditions are bad, the signal strengthmay be affected.● Some vehicles have tinted (athermic) windows, whichmay block the satellite signals.Position requestsYou may receive a request from a network service toreceive your position information. Service providers mayoffer information about local topics, such as weather ortraffic conditions, based on the location of your device.When you receive a position request, a message isdisplayed showing the service that is making the request.Select Accept to allow your position information to besent or Reject to deny the request.LandmarksSelect Menu > Applications > Location andLandmarks.Positioning (GPS)© 2009 Nokia.
