Tips on creating a GPS connection

Check satellite signal status

To check how many satellites your device has found, and whether your device is

receiving satellite signals, select Menu > Applications > Location and GPS

data > Options > Satellite status.

If your device has found satellites, a bar for each

satellite is shown in the satellite info view. The longer

the bar, the stronger the satellite signal. When your

device has received enough data from the satellite

signal to calculate your location, the bar color changes.

To view the positions of found satellites, select Chg.

view.

Initially your device must receive signals from at least four satellites to be able 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.

If no satellite signal can be found, consider the following:

● If you are indoors, go outdoors to receive a better signal.

● If you are outdoors, move to a more open space.

● Ensure that your hand does not cover the GPS antenna of your device.

● If the weather conditions are bad, the signal strength may be affected.

● Some vehicles have tinted (athermic) windows, which may block the satellite

signals.

Position requests

You may receive a request from a network service to receive your position

information. Service providers may offer information about local topics, such as

weather or traffic conditions, based on the location of your device.
