data

.

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. However, the

accuracy is generally better when more satellites are

found.
For more information on GPS data, see the extended

user guide on the product support pages of the Nokia

website.
