• Establishing a GPS connection may take from a
couple of seconds to several minutes.
Satellite status
To check how many satellites your device has found,
and whether your device is receiving satellite signals,
select Menu > Tools > GPS data > Position >
Options > Satellite status. If your device has found
satellites, a bar for each satellite is shown in the
satellite info view. The longer the bar, the stronger the
satellite signal. When your device has received enough
data from the satellite signal to calculate the
coordinates of your location, the bar turns black.
Initially your device must receive signals from at least
four satellites to be able to calculate the coordinates of
your location. When the initial calculation has been
made, it may be possible to continue calculating the
coordinates of your location with three satellites.
However, the accuracy is generally better when more
satellites are found.
Positioning settings
Select Menu > Tools > Settings > General >
Positioning.
To use a specific positioning method to detect the
location of your device, select Positioning methods.
To select a positioning server, select Positioning
server.
Maps
Select Menu > Tools > Maps.
With Maps, you can see your current location on the
map, browse maps for different cities and countries,
search for addresses and different points of interest,
plan routes from one location to another, and save
locations and send them to compatible devices. You
can also purchase licences for extra services, such as
travel guides, traffic information, and navigation
service with voice guidance. These services are not
available for all countries or regions.
If you browse to an area which is not covered by maps
already downloaded in your device, a map for the area
is automatically downloaded through the internet.
Some maps may be available in your device or memory
card. You can also use the Nokia Map Loader PC
software to download maps. To install Nokia Map
Loader to a compatible PC, go to www.nokia.com/
maps.
Downloading maps may involve the transmission of
large amounts of data through your service provider's
network. Contact your service provider for information
about data transmission charges.
When you use Maps for the first time, you may need to
select an access point for downloading maps. To
change the access point later, select Options >
Tools > Settings > Internet > Default access
point.
The GPS function requires an external Bluetooth GPS
receiver.
