Hold your device correctly
When using the receiver, from an upright position, move the device to an angle of
about 45 degrees, with an unobstructed view of the sky.
Establishing a GPS connection may take from a couple of seconds to several
minutes, even longer in a vehicle. See “GPS light,” p. 16.
Using the GPS receiver may drain the device battery faster.
If your device cannot find the satellite signal, consider the following:
• If you are indoors, go outdoors to receive a better signal.
• If you are outdoors, move to a more open space.
• Check that your hand does not cover the GPS receiver of your device.
• If the weather conditions are bad, the signal strength may be affected.
• Some vehicles have tinted (athermic) windows, which may block the satellite
signals.
Satellite signal status
To check how many satellites your device has found, and whether your device is
receiving satellite signals, select > Applications > GPS data > Position >
Options > Satellite status.
If your device has found satellites, a bar for each satellite is shown in the satellite
information view. When your device has received enough data from the satellite
signal to calculate the coordinates of your location, the bars turn grey.
■ 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 to allow your position information to be sent,
select Accept, or to deny the request, select Reject.
■ Maps
The map coverage varies by country or region. For example, maps may not be
available due to legal restrictions of countries or regions. To the maximum extent
permitted by applicable law, Nokia disclaims any and all warranty with respect to
the availability, accuracy, correctness or update of maps.
