and whether your device is receiving satellite
signals, press , and select Tools
Connectivity GPS data Position
Options Satellite status. Or, in the Maps
application, select Options Map options
Satellite info.
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 data
from the satellite signal to
calculate the coordinates
of your location, the bar
turns black.
Initially your device must
receive signals from at
least four satellites to be
able to calculate the
coordinates of your
location. When the initial
calculation has been made,
it may be possible to
48
continue calculating the
Cyan Cyan Cyan Cyan
coordinates of your location with three satellites.
However, the accuracy is generally better when
more satellites are found.

About Maps
Press , and select Maps.
With Maps, you can see your current location on the
map, browse maps for different cities and countries,
search for addresses and different points of interest,
plan routes from one location to another, and save
locations as landmarks and send them to
compatible devices.
Maps uses GPS. You can define the positioning
methods used with your device in the device
settings. See "Positioning settings", p. 105. For the
most accurate location information, use either the
internal GPS or a compatible external GPS receiver.
When you use Maps for the first time, you may need
to define an internet access point for downloading
map information for your current location. To
change the default access point later, select
Options Settings Network
access point.
Almost all digital cartography is inaccurate and
incomplete to some extent. Never rely solely on the
cartography provided for use in this device.
