With Landmarks, you can save the position information of
specific locations in your device. You can sort the saved
locations into different categories, such as business, and add

GPS coordinates are expressed in the degrees and decimal
degrees format using the international WGS-84 coordinate
system.

GPS data
Select > Applications > GPS data.
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 in degrees and
decimal degrees format 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 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.
