Any GPS should not be used for precise location
measurement, and you should never rely solely on location
data from the GPS receiver and cellular radio networks for
positioning or navigation.
The trip meter has limited accuracy, and rounding errors may
occur. Accuracy can also be affected by availability and quality
of GPS signals.
To enable or disable different positioning methods, such as
Bluetooth GPS, select Menu

About satellite signals
If 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 to several minutes.
Satellite status
To check how many satellites your device has found, and
whether your device is receiving satellite signals, select
Menu Tools GPS data
> >
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 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 continue calculating the coordinates of your
location with three satellites. However, the accuracy is
generally better when more satellites are found.
