Positioning
Your device is preconfigured to use the Nokia A-GPS service, if no service
provider-specific A-GPS settings are available. The assistance data is retrieved
from the Nokia A-GPS service server only when needed. To disable different
positioning methods, see ‘Positioning settings,’ p. 26.
To use A-GPS, you must have a packet data internet access point defined. See
‘Positioning settings,’ p. 26.
■ Set up GPS connection
Positioning settings
Select > Settings > Phone sett. > General > Positioning and from the following:
Positioning methods — to enable or disable different positioning methods
Positioning server — To define an access point for A-GPS, select Access point. Only
a packet data internet access point can be used. Your device asks for the internet
access point when GPS is used for the first time.
Notation preferences — to define the measurement system and coordinate format
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. 15.
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 >
