Positioning

You can use applications such as Maps and GPS data to find out your location, or measure distances and coordinates. These applications require a GPS connection.

About GPS

Your device has an internal GPS receiver.

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.

Any 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.

Assisted GPS

Assisted GPS (A-GPS) is used to retrieve assistance data over a packet data connection, which assists in calculating the coordinates of your current location when your device is receiving signals from satellites.

Your network operator may charge you for this connection according to your network subscription. Contact your service provider for the correct internet access point and charges related to the service.

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. To disable different positioning methods, see "Positioning settings",

p.31.

To use A-GPS, you must have a packet data internet access point defined. See "Positioning settings", p. 31.
