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.
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.
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.
To define an access point for A-GPS, select Menu > Applications >
Location and Positioning > Positioning server > Access point. 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 for 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.
