Positioning (GPS) 13 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. Your device is preconfigured to use the Nokia A-GPS service, if no service providerspecific A-GPS settings are available. The assistance data is retrieved from the Nokia A-GPS service server only when needed. View your location Your current location is displayed in the map gadget on the desktop. View details Select the red spot. Open Ovi Maps Select the Ovi Maps icon in the map gadget. Your current location is displayed in Ovi Maps. Ovi Maps With the Ovi Maps internet service, you can browse places from all over the world, plan trips, search for addresses and points of interest, and save them in your Ovi Maps account. You can also share your location with friends, and see where they currently are. In the current version of Ovi Maps, the turn-by-turn navigation feature is not available. If the Maps 3.0 application is installed in your Nokia Booklet 3G, you can synchronize places, collections, and routes between Ovi Maps and your device. Ovi Maps is free of charge. However, data transfer costs may apply if you establish an internet connection to synchronize your Nokia Booklet 3G with Ovi Maps. For information about data transmission charges, contact your network service provider. Tips on creating a GPS connection 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 your location with three satellites. However, the accuracy is generally better when more satellites are found. Establishing a GPS connection may take from a couple of seconds to several minutes. Establishing a GPS connection in a vehicle may take longer. If no satellite signal can be found, consider the following: • If you are indoors, go outdoors to receive a better signal. • If you are outdoors, move to a more open space. • If the weather conditions are bad, the signal strength may be affected. • Some vehicles have tinted (athermic) windows, which may block the satellite signals. Ensure you do not cover the antenna with your hand. © 2009 Nokia. All rights reserved. 13
