Nokia N8 Cell Phone User Manual


 
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 * and #.
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.
