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. The access point

for A-GPS can be defined in positioning settings. A

wireless LAN (WLAN) access point cannot be used for

this service. Only a packet data internet access point

can be used. Your device asks you to select the internet

access point when GPS is used for the first time.

Hold your device correctly

The GPS receiver is located in the bottom of the device.

When using the receiver, make sure that 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 the GPS receiver may drain the battery

faster.

Tips on creating a GPS

connection

If your device cannot find the satellite signal, consider

the following:

If you are indoors, go outdoors to receive a better

signal.

If you are outdoors, move to a more open space.

Ensure that your hand does not cover the GPS

antenna of your device.

If the weather conditions are bad, the signal

strength may be affected.

Some vehicles have tinted (athermic) windows,

which may block the satellite signals.

Check satellite signal status

To check how many satellites your device has found,

and whether your device is receiving satellite signals,
