are available. The assistance data is retrieved from the
Nokia A-GPS service server only when needed.

You must have an internet access point defined in the
device to retrieve assistance data from the Nokia A-GPS
service over a packet data connection. The access point
for A-GPS can be defined in positioning settings. A
wireless LAN (WLAN) access point cannot be used for
this service. Only a packet data internet access point
can be used. Your device asks you to select the internet
access point when GPS is used for the first time.
Hold your device correctly
The GPS receiver is located on the back of the device.
When using the receiver, make sure that 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
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.
Check satellite signal status
To check how many satellites your device has found,
and whether your device is receiving satellite signals,
select
Menu
>
Applications
>
GPS
>
GPS data
and
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.
