Assisted GPS (A-GPS) is used to retrieve assistance data
over a packet data connection, which assists in
calculating the coordinates of your current location
when your device is receiving signals from satellites.
A-GPS is a network service.
Move on a map
When the GPS connection is active, shows your
current location on the map.
To view your current or last known location, select
Options > My position.
To move on the map, scroll up, down, left, or right with
the scroll key. The map is oriented towards north by
default.
When you have an active data connection and browse
the map on the display, a new map is automatically
downloaded if you scroll to an area not covered by the
maps that have already been downloaded. The maps
are automatically saved in the device memory or on a
compatible memory card, if inserted.
To zoom in and out on the map, press the left and right
shift keys, or the shift key and the backspace key,
depending on the keyboard of your device.
To change the map type, select Options > Map
mode.
Display indicators
The GPS indicator shows the availability of
the satellite signals. One bar is one satellite. When the
device tries to find satellite signals, the bar is yellow.
When the device receives enough data from the
satellites for GPS to calculate your location, the bar
turns green. The more green bars, the more reliable the
location calculation.
Initially, your device must receive signals from at least
four satellites to calculate your location. After the initial
calculation, signals from three satellites may be
enough.
The data transfer indicator
shows the
internet connection used, and the amount of data
transferred since the application started.
