Hold Your Device Correctly; Tips On Creating A Gps Connection - Nokia 5800 XpressMusic User Manual

When you activate A-GPS, your device receives useful satellite information from an
assistance data server over the cellular network. With the help of assisted data, your
device can obtain the GPS position faster.
Your device is preconfigured to use the Nokia A-GPS service, if no service provider-
specific A-GPS settings are available. The assistance data is retrieved from the Nokia
A-GPS service server only when needed.
You must have an internet access point defined in the device to retrieve assistance
data from the Nokia A-GPS service over a packet data connection. To define an access
point for A-GPS, select Menu > Applications > Location and Positioning >
Positioning server > Access point. A wireless LAN (WLAN) access point cannot be
used for this service. Only a packet data internet access point can be used. Your
device asks for the internet access point when GPS is used for the first time.

Hold your device correctly

When using the GPS receiver, ensure you do not cover the antenna with your hand.
Establishing a GPS connection may take from a couple of seconds to
several minutes. Establishing a GPS connection in a vehicle may take
longer.
The GPS receiver draws its power from the device battery. Using the
GPS receiver may drain the battery faster.

Tips on creating a GPS connection

Check satellite signal status
To check how many satellites your device has found, and whether your device is
receiving satellite signals, select Menu > Applications > Location and GPS
data > Position > Options > Satellite status.
