Assisted GPS (A-GPS) is used to retrieve assistance data over a packet data
connection, which assists in calculating your current location when your device is
receiving signals from satellites.
When you activate A-GPS, your device receives useful satellite information from an
assistance data server over the cellular network. With the help of assisted data, your
device can obtain the GPS position faster.
Your device is preconfigured to use the Nokia A-GPS service, if no service provider-
specific A-GPS settings are available. The assistance data is retrieved from the Nokia
A-GPS service server only when needed.
A-GPS is an internet service. When using A-GPS, it may incur data charges. For
information about costs in your home network, contact your service provider.
To disable the A-GPS service, select

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. 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
The GPS receiver is located on the back of the device. When using the receiver, make
sure that you do not cover the antenna with your hand.
