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 your location, the
bar color changes.
To view the positions of found satellites, select
view.
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.
If no satellite signal can be found, consider the
following:
If you are indoors, go outdoors to receive a better
●
signal.
If you are outdoors, move to a more open space.
●
Ensure that your hand does not cover the GPS
●
antenna of your device.

Some vehicles have tinted (athermic) windows,

which may block the satellite signals.

Position requests

You may receive a request from a network service to
receive your position information. Service providers
may offer information about local topics, such as
weather or traffic conditions, based on the location of
your device.
When you receive a position request, the service that
is making the request is displayed. Select
allow your position information to be sent or
deny the request.
