Positioning

You can use applications such as
find out your location, or measure distances and
coordinates. These applications require a GPS connection.

About GPS

Your device has an internal GPS receiver.
The Global Positioning System (GPS) is operated by the
government of the United States, which is solely
responsible for its accuracy and maintenance. The
accuracy of location data can be affected by adjustments
to GPS satellites made by the United States government
and is subject to change with the United States
Department of Defense civil GPS policy and the Federal
Radionavigation Plan. Accuracy can also be affected by
poor satellite geometry. Availability and quality of GPS
signals may be affected by your location, buildings, natural
obstacles, and weather conditions. The GPS receiver should
only be used outdoors to allow reception of GPS signals.
Any GPS should not be used for precise location
measurement, and you should never rely solely on location

Maps and GPS data to data from the GPS receiver and cellular radio networks for
positioning or navigation.

Assisted GPS

Assisted GPS (A-GPS) is used to retrieve assistance data
over a packet data connection, which assists in calculating
the coordinates of your current location when your device
is receiving signals from satellites.
Your network operator may charge you for this connection
according to your network subscription. Contact your
service provider for the correct internet access point and
charges related to the service.
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. To disable
different positioning methods, see
p. 31.
To use A-GPS, you must have a packet data internet access
point defined. See "Positioning settings",
