Tips on creating a GPS connection

Check satellite signal status

status.
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.
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.
To view the positions of found satellites,
select Chg. view.
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.
Some vehicles have tinted (athermic)
•
windows, which may block the
satellite signals.

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 GPS may drain the
battery faster.

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
position information to be sent or
to deny the request.

Landmarks

With Landmarks, you can save the
position information of locations in your
device. You can sort the saved locations
into different categories, such as business,
and add details to them. You can use your
saved landmarks in compatible
applications.
