Hold your device correctly
When using the receiver, from an upright position, move the device to an angle of 
about 45 degrees, with an unobstructed view of the sky.
Establishing a GPS connection may take from a couple of seconds to several 
minutes, in a vehicle even longer. 
Using the GPS receiver may drain the device battery faster.
If your device cannot find the satellite signal, consider the following:
• If you are indoors, go outdoors to receive a better signal.
• If you are outdoors, move to a more open space.
• Check that your hand does not cover the GPS receiver of your device.
• If the weather conditions are bad, the signal strength may be affected.
• Some vehicles have tinted (athermic) windows, which may block the satellite 
signals.

If your device has found satellites, a bar for each satellite is shown in the satellite 
information view. The longer the bar, the longer the satellite signal. When your 
device has received enough data from the satellite signal to calculate the 
coordinates of your location, the bar turns black.
■ Position requests

information. Service providers may offer information about local topics, such as 
weather or traffic conditions, based upon the location of your device.
When you receive a position request, to allow your position information to be 
sent, select
