Positioning (GPS) 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. 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. Tips on creating a GPS connection Check satellite signal status To check how many satellites your device has found, and whether your device is receiving satellite signals, select Menu > Applications > Location and GPS data > 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. To view the positions of found satellites, select Chg. view. 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. 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. 62 © 2009 Nokia.
