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, press , and select Tools > Settings > General > Positioning > Positioning server > Access point. A wireless LAN 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 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. Establishing a GPS connection may take from a couple of seconds to tens of minutes. Establishing a GPS connection in the car, in bad weather conditions, or in a challenging geographical environment 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. See "Hold your device correctly", p. 35. ● If the weather conditions are bad, the signal strength may be affected. © 2008 Nokia. All rights reserved. 35
