Positioning (GPS) 117 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 > GPS data and Options > Satellite status. If your device has found satellites, a bar for each satellite is displayed in the satellite information view. The longer the bar, the stronger the satellite signal is. When your device has received enough data from the satellite signal to calculate the coordinates of your location, the bar color changes. 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, the service that is making the request is displayed. Select Accept to allow your position information to be sent or Reject to deny the request.
