About GPS The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a worldwide radio navigation system that includes 24 satellites and their ground stations that monitor the operation of the satellites. Your device has an internal GPS receiver. A GPS terminal receives low-power radio signals from the satellites and measures the travel time of the signals.
Positioning (GPS) Positioning (GPS) Assisted GPS (A-GPS) point can be used. Your device asks for the internet access point when GPS is used for the first time. A-GPS is a network service. Hold your device correctly Your device also supports Assisted GPS (A-GPS). Assisted GPS (A-GPS) is used to retrieve assistance data over a packet data connection, which assists in calculating the coordinates of your current location when your device is receiving signals from satellites.
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. ● Ensure that your hand does not cover the GPS antenna of your device. See "Hold your device correctly", p. 58. ● If the weather conditions are bad, the signal strength may be affected. ● Some vehicles have tinted (athermic) windows, which may block the satellite signals.

Press data. , and select Tools > Connectivity > GPS The coordinates in the GPS are expressed in degrees and decimal degrees format using the international WGS-84 coordinate system. To use GPS data, the GPS receiver of your device must initially receive position information from at least four satellites 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.
Positioning (GPS) Positioning (GPS) Trip meter The trip meter has limited accuracy, and rounding errors may occur. Accuracy can also be affected by availability and quality of GPS signals. Press , and select Tools > Connectivity > GPS data > Trip distance. Select Options > Start to activate trip distance calculation, and Stop to deactivate it. The calculated values remain on the display. Use this feature outdoors to receive a better GPS signal.
