Satellite info

.

If your device has found

satellites, a bar for each

satellite is shown in the

satellite info view. The

longer the bar, the

stronger the satellite

signal. When your device

has received enough data

from the satellite signal to

calculate the coordinates

of your location, the bar

turns black.
Initially your device must

receive signals from at

least four satellites to be

able 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.

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, a message is

displayed showing the service that is making the

request. Select

Accept

to allow your position

information to be sent or

Reject

to deny the

request.

With Maps, you can see your current location on the
