Positioning (GPS) Satellite status To check how many satellites your device has found, and whether your device is receiving satellite signals, press , and select Tools > Connectivity > GPS data > Position > Options > Satellite status. Or, in the Maps application, select Options > Map view > GPS info. 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. Position requests You may receive a request from a network service to receive your position information. Service providers may offer information about local topics, such as weather or traffic conditions, based on the location of your device. When you receive a position request, a message is displayed showing the service that is making the request. Select Accept to allow your position information to be sent or Reject to deny the request. Maps About Maps Press , and select 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, view traffic details, and save locations as favourites and send them to compatible devices. 60 © 2008 Nokia.
