the coordinates of 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.
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. To define an access
point for A-GPS, press
, and select Tools > Settings >
General > Positioning > Positioning server >
Access point. A wireless LAN access point cannot be used
for this service. Only a packet data internet access point
can be used. Your device asks for the internet access point
when GPS is used for the first time.
Hold your device correctly
The GPS receiver is located in the top of the device. When
using the receiver, make sure that you do not cover the
antenna with your hand.
See "Antenna locations", p. 22.
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.
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.
