Nokia E75 - Manual (Page 85)

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.
Route guidance
Select Menu > Applications > GPS > GPS data and
Navigation .
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.
