GPS data

Route guidance

Select > Settings > Connectivity > GPS data and
Navigation.
Start the route guidance outdoors. If started indoors, the GPS
receiver may not receive the necessary information from the
satellites.
Route guidance uses a rotating compass on the device
display. A red ball shows the direction to the destination, and
the approximate distance to it is shown inside the compass
ring.
Route guidance is designed to show the straightest route and
the shortest distance to the destination, measured in a
straight line. Any obstacles on the route, such as buildings
and natural obstacles, are ignored. Differences in altitude are
not taken into account when calculating the distance. Route
guidance is active only when you move.
To set your trip destination, select Options > Set
destination and a landmark as the destination, or enter the
latitude and longitude coordinates.
To clear the destination set for your trip, select Stop
navigation.

Retrieve position information

Select > Settings > Connectivity > GPS data and
Position.
In the position view, you can view the position information
of your current location. An estimate of the accuracy of the
location is displayed.
