Global positioning system (GPS)
The GPS (global positioning system) is a worldwide satellite-based radio
navigation system.
A GPS terminal can calculate its location to an accuracy of 10 meters.
The accuracy depends on the number of satellites, the signals of which
the GPS module receives. In optimal conditions, the accuracy may be
within a few meters.
The antenna of the GPS module is located under the Nokia logo, and it
should face upwards. Some car windshields and windows may contain
metal, which may block or weaken the satellite signals.
