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.
