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.

Your device asks you to select the internet access point when GPS is used for the first time. Hold your device correctly 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 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 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. To check how many satellites your device has found, and whether your device is receiving satellite signals, select Menu > Applications > GPS > GPS data and Position > Options > Satellite status. 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 blue. 84 © 2009 Nokia. All rights reserved.

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

If your device has found
satellites, a bar for each
satellite is shown in 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 blue.
