Position Requests; Maps - Nokia N Series User Manual

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.

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 upon the location of your device.
When you receive a position request, a message is
displayed showing the service that is making the request.
Select Accept to allow your position information to be sent
or Reject to deny the request.

Maps

Press , and select Maps. With Maps, you can see your
current location on the map, browse maps for different
cities and countries, search for addresses and different
points of interest, plan routes from one location to
another, view traffic details, and save locations as
favourites and send them to compatible devices.

You can also purchase extra services, such as guides,
a turn-by-turn Drive & Walk navigation service with voice
guidance, and a traffic information service.
Maps uses GPS. You can define the positioning methods
used with your device in the device settings. See
"Positioning", p. 66. For the most accurate location
information, use either the internal GPS or a compatible
external GPS receiver.
When you use Maps for the first time, you may need to
define an internet access point for downloading map
information for your current location. To change the
default access point later, in Maps, select
Tools > Settings > Internet
(shown only when you are online).
When you browse a map in Maps, the map data for the
area is automatically downloaded to your device through
the internet. A new map is downloaded only if you scroll to
an area which is not covered by maps already downloaded.
Almost all digital cartography is inaccurate and
incomplete to some extent. Never rely solely on the
cartography that you download for use in this device.
Downloading maps may involve the transmission of large
amounts of data through your service provider's network.
Contact your service provider for information about data
transmission charges.
