Nokia N95 manual Route guidance, Retrieve position information, Trip meter

The coordinates in the GPS are expressed in degrees and decimal degrees format using the international WGS-84 coordinate system.

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

Press	, and select Tools > Connectivity > GPS
data >	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.

To set your trip destination, select Options > Set destination and a landmark as the destination, or enter the latitude and longitude coordinates. Select Stop navigation to clear the destination set for your trip.

Retrieve position information

Press	, and select Tools > Connectivity > GPS
data	> Position.
