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.

GPS

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.

Start the route guidance outdoors. If started indoors,

the GPS receiver may not receive the necessary

information from the satellites.
Route guidance uses a rotating compass on the device

display. A red ball shows the direction to the

destination, and the approximate distance to it is

shown inside the compass ring.
Route guidance is designed to show the straightest

route and the shortest distance to the destination,

measured in a straight line. Any obstacles on the route,

such as buildings and natural obstacles, are ignored.

Differences in altitude are not taken into account when

calculating the distance. Route guidance is active only

when you move.
