Position Requests; Landmarks - Nokia C6-00 User Manual

62 Positioning (GPS)
If your device has found satellites, a bar
for each satellite is shown in the satellite
information 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 colour of the bar changes.
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 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.
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.
