Positioning (GPS)
You can use applications such as GPS data
to find out your location, or measure
distances and coordinates. These
applications require a GPS connection.
About GPS
The Global Positioning System (GPS) is
operated by the government of the United
States, which is solely responsible for its
accuracy and maintenance. The accuracy
of location data can be affected by
adjustments to GPS satellites made by the
United States government and is subject
to change with the United States
Department of...

If your device has found satellites, a bar
for each satellite is shown in the satellite
information 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 colour of the bar changes.
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...

Welcome to Maps.
Maps shows you what is nearby, helps you
plan your route, and guides you where
you want to go.
•Find cities, streets, and services.
•Find your way with turn-by-turn
directions.
•Synchronise your favourite locations
and routes between your mobile
device and the Ovi Maps web service.
•Check weather forecasts and other
local information, if available.
Some services may not be available in all
countries, and may be provided only in
selected languages....

Accuracy can also be affected by poor
satellite geometry. Availability and
quality of GPS 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.
