Satellite status

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 black.
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.

With Maps, you can see your current location on the map,
browse maps for different cities and countries, search for
addresses and different points of interest, plan routes from
one location to another, and save locations and send them
to compatible devices. You can also purchase licences for
extra services, such as travel guides, traffic information, and
navigation service with voice guidance. These services are
not available for all countries or regions.
If you browse to an area which is not covered by maps already
downloaded in your device, a map for the area is
automatically downloaded through the internet. Some maps
may be available in your device or memory card. You can also
use the Nokia Map Loader PC software to download maps. To
install Nokia Map Loader to a compatible PC, go to
www.maps.nokia.com.
Downloading maps may involve the transmission of large
amounts of data through your service provider's network.
Contact your service provider for information about data
transmission charges.
When you use Maps for the first time, you may need to select
a cellular or a WLAN access point for downloading maps. To
change the access point later, select
