Assisted GPS (A-GPS)
Your device also supports assisted GPS (A-GPS).
A-GPS requires network support.
Assisted GPS (A-GPS) is used to retrieve assistance data over
a packet data connection, which assists in calculating your
current location when your device is receiving signals from
satellites.
When you activate A-GPS, your device receives useful satellite
information from an assistance data server over the cellular
network. With the help of assisted data, your device can
obtain the GPS position faster.
Your device is preconfigured to use the Nokia A-GPS service,
if no service provider-specific A-GPS settings are available.
The assistance data is retrieved from the Nokia A-GPS service
server only when needed.
A-GPS is an internet service. When using A-GPS, it may incur
data charges. For information about costs in your home
network, contact your service provider.

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. 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 tens of minutes. Establishing a GPS connection in
the car, in bad weather conditions, or in a challenging
geographical environment may take longer.
The GPS receiver draws its power from the device battery.
Using the GPS receiver may drain the battery faster.
