Thissetting is displayed only if there was no network coverage when theapplication was started.About GPS and satellite signalsThe Global Positioning System (GPS) is a worldwide radio navigation systemthat includes 24 satellites and their ground stations that monitor theoperation of the satellites. To use GPS, you need a compatible GPS receiver.Use Bluetooth connectivity to connect to the GPS receiver. To start using acompatible GPS receiver with Bluetooth connectivity, select Connectivity >Bluetooth.A GPS terminal receives low-power radio signals from the satellites andmeasures the travel time of the signals. From the travel time, the GPS receivercan calculate its location to the accuracy of metres.The coordinates in the GPS are expressed in degrees and decimal degreesformat using the international WGS-84 coordinate system.The Global Positioning System (GPS) is operated by the government of theUnited States, which is solely responsible for its accuracy and maintenance.The accuracy of location data can be affected by adjustments to GPS satellitesmade by the United States government and is subject to change with theUnited States Department of Defense civil GPS policy and the FederalRadionavigation Plan. Accuracy can also be affected by poor satellitegeometry. Availability and quality of GPS signals may be affected by yourlocation, buildings, natural obstacles, and weather conditions. The GPSreceiver should only be used outdoors to allow reception of GPS signals.Any GPS should not be used for precise location measurement, and youshould never rely solely on location data from the GPS receiver and cellularradio networks for positioning or navigation.To enable or disable different positioning methods, such as Bluetooth GPS,select Menu > Tools > Settings > General > Positioning >Positioning methods.About satellite signalsIf your device cannot find the satellite signal, consider the following:• If you are indoors, go outdoors to receive a better signal.• If you are outdoors, move to a more open space.• If the weather conditions are bad, the signal strength may be affected.• Establishing a GPS connection may take from a couple of seconds toseveral minutes.Satellite statusTo check how many satellites your device has found, and whether yourdevice is receiving satellite signals, select Menu > Tools > GPS data >Position > Options > Satellite status. If your device has found satellites,a bar for each satellite is shown in the satellite info view. The longer the bar,the stronger the satellite signal. When your device has received enough datafrom the satellite signal to calculate the coordinates of your location, the barturns black.Initially your device must receive signals from at least four satellites to beable to calculate the coordinates of your location. When the initial calculationhas been made, it may be possible to continue calculating the coordinatesof your location with three satellites. However, the accuracy is generallybetter when more satellites are found.Positioning settingsSelect Menu > Tools > Settings > General > Positioning.To use a specific positioning method to detect the location of your device,select Positioning methods.To select a positioning server, select Positioning server.Nokia MapsSelect Menu > Tools > Maps.With Maps, you can see your current location on the map, browse maps fordifferent cities and countries, search for addresses and different points ofinterest, plan routes from one location to another, and save locations aslandmarks and send them to compatible devices.You can also purchase extra services, such as guides and a turn-by-turnnavigation service with voice guidance.When you use Maps for the first time, you may need to define an internetaccess point for downloading map information for your current location.

These downloaded mapsare free of charge, but downloading may involve the transmission of largeamounts of data through your service provider's network. For moreinformation on data transmission charges, contact your service provider.You can view the amount of transferred data from the data counter (kB)shown on the display. The counter shows the amount of network trafficwhen you browse maps, create routes, or search for locations online.Almost all digital cartography is inaccurate and incomplete to some extent.Never rely solely on the cartography provided for use in this device.To prevent the device from automatically downloading maps through theinternet, for example, when you are outside your home cellular network,select Options > Settings > Network > Use network > Off.To receive a note when your device registers to a network outside your homecellular network, select Options > Settings > Network > Roamingwarning > On.

The cache cannotbe emptied.Nokia Map LoaderNokia Map Loader is PC software that you can use to download and installmaps for different countries from the internet to your device or a compatiblememory card. You can also use it to download voice files for turn-by-turnnavigation.To use Nokia Map Loader, download it from www.nokia.com/maps, andinstall it to a compatible PC.You must use Nokia Maps before using Nokia Map Loader. Nokia Map Loaderuses the Maps history information to check the version of map data to bedownloaded.1. To download maps or voice guidance files with Nokia Map Loader,connect your device to the PC with a compatible USB data cable.2. Open Nokia Map Loader in your PC. Nokia Map Loader checks the versionof map data to be downloaded.3. Select the maps or voice guidance files you want to install to your device.Satellite informationThe indicator is shown on the display when you browse maps. Whenthe device tries to establish a GPS connection, the circles are yellow and theicon is blinking. When the device receives enough data from the satellites tocalculate the coordinates of your current location, the icon stops blinkingand turns green.To check how many satellites your device found and whether your device isreceiving satellite signals from the satellites, select Options > Mapoptions > Satellite info.If your device found satellites, a bar is shown for each satellite in the satelliteinformation view. The longer the bar, the stronger the satellite signal. Whenyour device has received enough data from the satellite signal to calculatethe coordinates of your location, the bar turns black.Initially your device must receive signals from at least four satellites to beable to calculate the coordinates of your location. When the initial calculationhas been made, it may be possible to continue calculating the coordinatesof your location with three satellites. However, the accuracy is generallybetter when more satellites are found.Browse mapsThe map coverage varies by country.When you open the Maps application, Maps zooms in to the location thatwas saved from your last session. If no position was saved from the lastsession, the Maps application zooms in to the capital city of the country youare in based on the information the device receives from the cellularnetwork.
