Check The Satellite Signal Status - Nokia 5530 XpressMusic User Manual

affected by your location, buildings, natural obstacles, and weather conditions. GPS
signals may not be available inside buildings or underground and may be impaired
by materials such as concrete and metal.
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.
Different positioning methods can be enabled or disabled in positioning settings.

Check the satellite signal status

Your device does not have an internal GPS antenna. To use applications that require
a GPS connection, use a compatible GPS receiver (accessory sold separately).
To check how many satellites the GPS receiver has found, and whether it is receiving
satellite signals, select Menu Applications Location and GPS data
> > >
Position Options Satellite status.
> >
If the GPS receiver has found satellites, a bar for each
satellite is displayed in the satellite information view.
The longer the bar, the stronger the satellite signal.
When the GPS receiver has received enough data from
the satellite signal to calculate your location, the bar
turns blue.
To view the positions of found satellites, select Chg. view.
Initially, the GPS receiver must receive signals from at least four satellites to be able
to calculate your location. When the initial calculation has been made, it may be
possible to continue calculating 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.
● If the weather conditions are bad, the signal strength may be affected.
