Positioning (GPS)

You can use GPS data to find out your location or measure distances. This requires a GPS connection.

About GPS 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. GPS signals may not be available inside buildings or underground and may be impaired by materials such as concrete and metal.

GPS should not be used for precise location measurement, and you should never rely solely on location data from the GPS receiver and cellular radio networks for positioning or navigation.

The trip meter has limited accuracy, and rounding errors may occur. Accuracy can also be affected by availability and quality of GPS signals.

Different positioning methods can be enabled or disabled in positioning settings.

Assisted GPS (A-GPS)

 

 

Your device also supports assisted GPS (A-GPS).

A-GPS requires network support.

 

 

Assisted GPS (A-GPS) is used to retrieve assistance data

over a packet data connection, which assists in calculating

your current location when your device is receiving signals

from satellites.

 

 

When you activate A-GPS, your device receives useful

satellite information from an assistance data server over

the cellular network. With the help of assisted data, your

device can obtain the GPS position faster.

Your device is preconfigured to use the

Nokia A-GPS

service, if no service provider-specific A-GPS settings are

available. The assistance data is retrieved from the Nokia

A-GPS service server only when needed.

 

A-GPS is an internet service. When using A-GPS, it may incur

data charges. For information about costs in your home

network, contact your service provider.

 

To disable the A-GPS service, select

 

> Tools >

Connect.

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. Only a packet

data internet access point can be used.
