Check that your hand does not cover the GPS receiver of your device.

Some vehicles have tinted (athermic) windows, which may block the satellite signals.

Satellite signal status

To check how many satellites your device has found, and whether your device is receiving satellite signals, select > Applications > GPS data > Position > Options > Satellite status.

If your device has found satellites, a bar for each satellite is shown in the satellite information view. When your device has received enough data from the satellite signal to calculate the coordinates of your location, the bars turn grey.

Position requests

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.
