The coordinates in the GPS are expressed using the
international WGS-84 coordinate system.
To use GPS data, the GPS receiver of your device must
initially receive position information from at least four
satellites 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.
Route guidance
Select Menu

Start the route guidance outdoors. If started indoors, the
GPS receiver may not receive the necessary information

Route guidance uses a rotating compass on the device
display. A red ball shows the direction to the destination,
and the approximate distance to it is shown inside the
compass ring.

in altitude are not taken into account when calculating the
distance. Route guidance is active only when you move.
