Initially your device must receive signals from at least four satellites to be able 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.
To view the positions of found satellites, select Chg. view.
If no satellite signal can be found, consider the following:
• If you are indoors, go outdoors to receive a better signal.
• If you are outdoors, move to a more open space.
• If the weather conditions are bad, the signal strength may be affected.
• Some vehicles have tinted (athermic) windows, which may block the satellite
signals.
Ensure you do not cover the antenna with your hand.
Establishing a GPS connection may take from a couple of seconds to several minutes.
Establishing a GPS connection in a vehicle may take longer.
The GPS receiver draws its power from the device battery. Using GPS may drain the
battery faster.
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

When you receive a position request, the service that is making the request is
