Positioning (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.
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
Location and Positioning
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.

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

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 colour 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 your location. When the
initial calculation has been made, it may be possible to
