You must have an internet access point defined in the
device to retrieve assistance data from the Nokia A-GPS
service over a packet data connection. The access point for
A-GPS can be defined in positioning settings. A wireless
LAN (WLAN) access point cannot be used for this service.
Only a packet data internet access point can be used. Your
device asks you to select the internet access point when
GPS is used for the first time.
Tips on creating a GPS
connection
Check the satellite signal status — Select Menu >
Applications and GPS data > Options > Satellite
status.
If your device has
found satellites, a
bar for each satellite
is shown in the
satellite information
view. The longer the
bar, the stronger the
satellite signal.
When your device has received enough data from the
satellite signal to calculate your location, the colour of the
bar changes.
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.
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 weather or
traffic conditions, based on the location of your device.
When you receive a position request, the service that is
making the request is displayed. Select Accept to allow
your position information to be sent or Reject to deny the
request.
Landmarks
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
