							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 Defense civil GPS policy and
the Federal Radionavigation Plan.
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.
The trip meter has limited accuracy, and
rounding errors may occur. Accuracy can
also be affected by availability and quality
of GPS signals.
The coordinates in the GPS are expressed
using the international WGS-84
coordinate system. The availability of the
coordinates may vary by region.
About assisted GPS (A-GPS)
Your device supports A-GPS (network
service). When you activate A-GPS, your
device receives useful satellite
information from an assistance data
server over the cellular network. With the
help of assisted data, your device can
obtain the GPS position faster.
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.
Your device is preconfigured to use the
Nokia A-GPS service, if no service provider-
specific A-GPS settings are available. The
assistance data is retrieved from the Nokia
A-GPS service server only when needed.
You must have an internet access point
defined in the device to retrieve
assistance data from the Nokia A-GPS
service over a packet data connection.
Define an access point for A-GPS
Select Menu > Applications > Location
and Positioning >  Positioning server >
Access point. Only a packet data internet
access point can be used for this service.
Your device asks for the internet access
point when GPS is used for the first time.
Tips on creating a GPS connection
Check the satellite signal status
Select Menu > Applications > Location
and GPS data > Options > Satellite
status.Positioning (GPS) 61

							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 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.
•If the weather conditions are bad, the
signal strength may be affected.
•Some vehicles have tinted (athermic)
windows, which may block the
satellite signals.
•Ensure you do not cover the antenna
with your hand.
Establishing a GPS connection may take
from a couple of seconds to several
minutes. Establishing a GPS connection in
a vehicle may take longer.
The GPS receiver draws its power from the
device battery. Using GPS may drain the
battery faster.
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.
Landmarks
 With Landmarks, you can save the
position information of locations in your
device. You can sort the saved locations
into different categories, such as business,
and add details to them. You can use your
saved landmarks in compatible
applications.

and Landmarks. 62 Positioning (GPS)

New landmark  — Create a new
landmark. To request position
information of your current location,
select Current position. To enter the
position information manually, select
Enter manually.
Edit  — Edit a saved landmark (for
example, add a street address).

GPS data
GPS data is designed to provide route
guidance information to a selected
destination, position information about
your current location, and traveling
information, such as the approximate
distance to the destination and
approximate duration of travel.
Select Menu > Applications > Location
and GPS data.
Route guidance
 Route guidance shows the straightest
route and the shortest distance to the
destination, measured in a straight line. It
ignores any obstacles on the route, such
as buildings and natural obstacles, or
differences in altitude. Route guidance is
active only when you move. Start the
route guidance outdoors to receive the
necessary information from the satellites.Select Menu > Applications > Location
and GPS data > Navigation.
Set your destination
Select Options > Set destination and a
landmark as the destination, or enter the
latitude and longitude coordinates.
Clear the destination
Select Stop navigation
Retrieve position information
 You can view the position information
of your current location and an estimate
of the accuracy of the location.
Select Menu > Applications > Location
and GPS data > Positioning.
Save your current location as a
landmark
Select Options > Save position.
Landmarks can be used in other
compatible applications and transferred
between compatible devices.
Trip meter
 With the trip meter, you can calculate
the distance, speed, and time of your trip.
Use the trip meter outdoors to receive a
better GPS signal.
Select Menu > Applications > Location
and GPS data > Trip distance.
Start calculating the trip distance
Select Options > Start. The calculated
values remain on the display.Positioning (GPS) 63

							Maps
Maps overview
 Select Menu > Maps.
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. The services may be
network dependent. For more
information, contact your network service
provider.
Almost all digital cartography is
inaccurate and incomplete to some
extent. Never rely solely on the
cartography that you download for use in
this device.
Content such as satellite images, guides,
weather and traffic information and
related services are generated by third
parties independent of Nokia. The content
may be inaccurate and incomplete to
some extent and is subject to availability.
Never rely solely on the aforementioned
content and related services.
About positioning methods
Maps displays your location on the map
using GPS, A-GPS, WLAN, or network (cell
ID) based positioning.
The global positioning system (GPS) is a
satellite-based navigation system used
for calculating your location. Assisted GPS
(A-GPS) is a network service that sends you
GPS data, improving the speed and
accuracy of the positioning.
WLAN positioning improves position
accuracy when GPS signals are not
available, especially when you are indoors
or between tall buildings.
With network (cell ID) based positioning,
the position is determined through the
antenna system your mobile device is
currently connected to.
When you use Maps for the first time, you
are prompted to define the internet access
point to use to download map
information, use A-GPS, or connect to a
WLAN.
To avoid network service costs, you can
disable A-GPS, WLAN, and network (cell ID)
based positioning in your device
positioning settings, but calculating your
location may take much longer. For more
information about positioning settings,
see the user guide of your device.
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
