GPS data

GPS data is designed to provide route guidance information to a selected destination,
position information about your current location, and travelling information, such as
the approximate distance to the destination and the approximate duration of travel.
The coordinates in the GPS are expressed in degrees and decimal degrees format
using the international WGS-84 coordinate system.
To use GPS data, the GPS receiver of your device must initially receive position
information from at least four satellites 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.

Start the route guidance outdoors. If started indoors, the GPS receiver may not
receive the necessary information from the satellites.
Route guidance uses a rotating compass on the device display. A red ball shows the
direction to the destination, and the approximate distance to it is shown inside the
compass ring.
Route guidance is designed to show the straightest route and the shortest distance
to the destination, measured in a straight line. Any obstacles on the route, such as
buildings and natural obstacles, are ignored. Differences in altitude are not taken into
account when calculating the distance. Route guidance is active only when you
move.
