signals may be affected by your location, buildings,
natural obstacles, and weather conditions. GPS signals
may not be available inside buildings or underground and
may be impaired by materials such as concrete and metal.
GPS should not be used for precise location measurement,
and you should never rely solely on location data from the
GPS receiver and cellular radio networks for positioning or
navigation.
The trip meter has limited accuracy, and rounding errors
may occur. Accuracy can also be affected by availability
and quality of GPS signals.
With cell ID based positioning, the position is determined
through the antenna tower your mobile device is currently
connected to.
Depending on the available positioning method, the
accuracy of positioning may vary from a few metres to
several kilometres.
Use the compass
If your device has a compass, when activated, both the
arrow of the compass and the map rotate automatically in
the direction to which the top of your device is pointing.
Select Menu > Maps and My position.
Activate the compass
Select
.
Deactivate the compass
Select
again. The map is oriented north.
The compass is active when there is a green outline. If the
compass needs calibration, the outline of the compass is
red or yellow. To calibrate the compass, rotate the device
around all axes in a continuous movement.
The compass has limited accuracy. Electromagnetic fields,
metal objects, or other external circumstances may also
affect the accuracy of the compass. The compass should
always be properly calibrated.
View your location and the map
See your current location on the map, and browse maps
of different cities and countries.
Select Menu > Maps and My position.
When the GPS connection is active,
marks your current
or last known location on the map. If the icon's colours are
faint, no GPS signal is available.
If only cell ID based positioning is available, a red halo
around the positioning icon indicates the general area you
might be in. The accuracy of the estimate increases in
densely populated areas.
Move on the map
Drag the map with your finger. By default, the map is
oriented north.
