A GPS terminal receives low-power radio signals from the satellites, and measures the travel time of the signals. From the travel time, the GPS receiver can calculate its location to the accuracy of meters. The coordinates in the GPS are expressed in degrees and decimal degrees format using the international WGS-84 coordinate system. The Global Positioning System (GPS) is operated by the government of the United States, which is solely responsible for its accuracy and maintenance. The accuracy of location data can be affected by adjustments to GPS satellites made by the United States government and is subject to change with the United States Department of Defense civil GPS policy and the Federal Radionavigation Plan. Accuracy can also be affected by poor satellite geometry. Availability and quality of GPS signals may be affected by your location, buildings, natural obstacles, and weather conditions. The GPS receiver should only be used outdoors to allow reception of GPS signals. GPS should only be used as a navigation aid. It should not be used for precise location measurement and you should never rely solely on location data from the GPS receiver for positioning or navigation. To enable or disable different positioning methods, Positioning (GPS) such as Bluetooth GPS, press , and select Tools > Settings > General > Positioning > Positioning methods. Set up GPS connection You can use GPS with an external GPS receiver. To enable the use of an external GPS receiver, see the device settings in the user guide. Bluetooth technology provides a wireless connection between the GPS receiver and your device. You may therefore freely position the GPS receiver for optimum satellite reception. To set up your GPS connection: 1 Fully charge your GPS receiver, and switch it on. 2 Set up a Bluetooth connection between your device and the GPS receiver. 4 unobstructed view to the sky. 4 Select the external GPS receiver when the application opens. The GPS connection is established. It may take several minutes to establish the first connection. Subsequent connections are faster, but if you have not used GPS for several days, or are far away from the last location you used it, it may take several minutes again to find a strong signal. 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 upon 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. About satellite signals If your GPS receiver cannot find the satellite signal, consider the following: · Check that the Bluetooth connection between the devices is active. · If you are indoors, go outdoors to receive a better signal. · If you are outdoors, move to a more open space. · If the weather conditions are bad, in such a case the signal strength may also be affected. · Establishing a GPS connection may take from a couple of seconds to several minutes. Maps With Maps, you can see your current location on the map, browse maps for different cities and countries, search for addresses and different points of interest, plan routes from one location to another and save locations as landmarks and send them to compatible devices. You can also purchase extra services, such as city guides and a navigation service with voice guidance. Maps uses GPS. You can define the positioning methods used with your device in the device settings. See the user guide for details. Almost all digital cartography is inaccurate and incomplete to some extent. Never rely solely on the cartography that you download for use in this device. Positioning 5 3 Place your GPS receiver in a position with an Position requests Positioning When you use Maps for the first time, you may need to define an internet access point for downloading map information for your current location. To change the default access point later, select Options > Settings > Network > Default access point. Downloading maps may involve the transmission of large amounts of data through your service provider's network. Contact your service provider for information about data transmission charges. Tip! You can also download maps by using a wireless LAN connection or through the internet using Nokia MapLoader. To receive a note when your device registers to a network outside your home cellular network, select Options > Settings > Network > Roaming warning > On. To establish a GPS connection and zoom in to your current location, select Options > Find place > GPS position [0], or press . To move on the map, scroll up, down, left, or right. To view detailed information of a location on the map, scroll to it, press the scroll key and select Show details. To use the location, for example, as a starting point for a nearby search or to plan a route, press the scroll key, and select the desired option. To return to your current location, press , or select Options > Find place > GPS position [0]. When you browse the map on the display, for example, move to another country, a new map is downloaded automatically. All the maps downloaded by Maps are free of charge, but downloading may involve the transmission of large amounts of data through your service provider's network. For more information on data transmission charges, contact your service provider. Your current location is indicated on the map. The compass rose shows the orientation of the map, which is towards north by default. To move on the map, scroll up, down, left, or right. To view detailed information of a location on the map, scroll to it, press the scroll key, and select Show details. To return to your current location, select Back or Options > Current location. Browse maps The map coverage varies by country. When you open Maps, Maps zooms in to the location that was saved from your last session. If no position was saved from the last session, the Maps application zooms in to the major city of the country or region you are in, based on the information the device receives from the cellular network. At the same time, the map of the location is downloaded. The maps are automatically saved in the device. 6 To define what kind of points of interest are shown on the map, select Options > Map options > Categories and the desired categories. To view information about satellites when you are using Maps, select Options > Map options > Satellite info. You can also see a GPS indicator on the display when browsing maps. It indicates whether your device is receiving signals from satellites. See `Satellite information', p. 7. To view points of interest near your current location, select Options > Search > Search nearby. To find points of interest near other locations, move on the map, and select Options > Search > By category. To save a location as a landmark, in the desired location, press the scroll key, and select Save > As landmark, enter a name for the landmark, and select the categories you want to include it in. To take a screenshot of your location, select Save > As image. The screenshot is saved in Gallery. To view saved landmarks, select Options > Find place > Favourites. To send a landmark to a compatible device, in the landmarks view, press the scroll key, and select Send. If you To adjust the network, routing, and general settings, select Options > Settings. To adjust the network, routing, and general settings, select Options > Settings. Satellite information A GPS indicator is shown on the display when you browse maps. The circles in the icon are satellites. A yellow circle indicates that the device has found a satellite, and a green circle that the device is receiving signal from the satellite. When all the circles are green, the device receives enough data from the satellites to calculate the coordinates of your current location. To check how many satellites your device has found, and whether your device is receiving satellite signals from the satellites, select Options > Map options > 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 Positioning 7 To zoom in or out on the map, press or between the 2-D and 3-D views, press . . To switch send the landmark in a text message, the information is converted to plain text. Positioning may be possible to continue calculating the coordinates of your location with three satellites.
