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.
To view the positions of found satellites, select
Chg. view
.
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.
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.
Position requests

When you receive a position request, a message is displayed showing the service
