GPS data

Select Menu Applications
>
GPS data is designed to provide route guidance information
to a selected destination, position information about your
current location, and travelling information, such as the
approximate distance to the destination and the
approximate duration of travel.
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.
