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.
Hold your device correctly
When using the GPS receiver, 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 the GPS
receiver may drain the battery faster.
Tips on creating a GPS
connection
If your device cannot find the satellite signal, consider
the following:
● If you are indoors, go outdoors to receive a better
signal.
● If you are outdoors, move to a more open space.
● Ensure that your hand does not cover the GPS
antenna of your device.
● If the weather conditions are bad, the signal
strength may be affected.
● Some vehicles have tinted (athermic) windows,
which may block the satellite signals.
Check satellite signal status
To check how many satellites your device has found,
and whether your device is receiving satellite signals,
select Menu > Applications > GPS data and
Options > Satellite status.
If your device has found
satellites, a bar for each
satellite is displayed in the
satellite information view.
The longer the bar, the
stronger the satellite signal is.

received enough data from the satellite signal to
