Positioning

The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a worldwide radio navigation system that includes 24 satellites and their ground stations that monitor the operation of the satellites. Your device has an internal GPS receiver.
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 metres.
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
16
measurement, and you should never rely solely on
location data from the GPS receiver and cellular radio networks for positioning or navigation.
The GPS receiver is located in the top of the device. Wh en usi ng t he rec eiver, make su re tha t yo u do no t cover the antenna with your hand.
Establishing a GPS connection may take from a couple of seconds to several minutes. Establishing a GPS connection in a vehicle may take longer.
The GPS receiver draws its power from the device battery. Using the GPS receiver may drain the battery faster.
Your device also supports Assisted GPS (A-GPS) (network service).
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.
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 detect satellites that are closer to your device, which speeds up the location calculation.
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.
Nokia 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 guides and a turn-by-turn navigation service with voice guidance.
Tip: Location information is automatically added to the file details of an image if Record
location is set on in the camera settings. If
you want to see where the image was captured on a map, open Photos.
Press 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
, and select Maps. When you use Maps for
point later, select Options > Settings >
Network > Default access point.
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.
When you browse the map on the display, a new map is automatically downloaded if you scroll to an area which is not covered by maps already downloaded. These 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.
To prevent the device from automatically downloading maps through the internet, for example, when you are outside your home cellular network, select Options > Settings > Network >
Use network > Never.
Download maps
Nokia Map Loader is PC software that you can use to download and install maps for different countries from the internet to your device or a compatible memory card (if inserted). You can also use it to download voice files for turn-by-turn navigation. To use Nokia Map Loader, you must first install it to a compatible PC. You can download the PC software

at www.nokia.com/maps. Follow the instructions on the screen.
