Find A Location - Nokia 5230 User Manual

Maps
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. 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.
With cell ID based positioning, the position is determined through the antenna
tower your mobile device is currently connected to.
Depending on the available positioning method, the accuracy of positioning may
vary from a few metres to several kilometres.

Search for different types of nearby places — Select Browse categories and a
category, such as shopping, accommodation, or transport.
If no search results are found, ensure the spelling of your search terms is correct.
Problems with your internet connection may also affect results when searching
