GPS receiver
The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a worldwide radio navigation system that
includes 24 satellites and their ground stations that monitor the operation of the
satellites. Your radio is equipped with an internal GPS receiver.
A GPS terminal, such as the GPS receiver in the Nokia THR880i, receives low-
power radio signals from the satellites, and measures the travel time of the
signals. From the travel time, the GPS receiver can calculate its location to the
accuracy of metres.
You can use the GPS applications in the
Positioning
menu. When the GPS receiver
is on,
is displayed. If the indicator blinks, the GPS receiver is calculating its
location. When using the GPS receiver, do not touch the antenna of the radio; the
antenna of the GPS receiver is located there. Hold the radio upright in your hand
at an angle of about 45 degrees, with a clear view of the sky.
The GPS receiver in the Nokia THR880i takes its power from the radio battery.
Note that using the GPS receiver may drain the battery faster.
