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 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 colour 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 your location. When the initial calculation has been made, it may be possible
to continue calculating 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.
When you receive a position request, the service that is making the request is displayed.
Select Accept to allow your position information to be sent or Reject to deny the
request.
