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.
A GPS terminal, such as the internal GPS receiver in Nokia 
N810 Internet Tablet products, 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 coordinates in the GPS are expressed in degrees and 
decimal degrees formats using the international WGS-84 
coordinate system.
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.
GPS should only be used as a navigation aid. It should not 
be used for precise location measurement and you should 
never rely solely on location data from the GPS receiver for 
positioning or navigation.

The procedure for using a GPS receiver with your internet 
tablet may vary according to the product model:
Nokia N800 Internet Tablet—You must use an external 
GPS receiver with your device. Pair a compatible GPS 
receiver with your device using Bluetooth wireless 
technology.
Nokia N810 Internet Tablet—
Your device has an internal GPS 
receiver. The GPS receiver is 
located in the upper left corner 
of the device. When using the 
receiver, hold the device upright 
in your hand or in the mobile 
holder; or place the device on 
the table using the desk stand. 
Make also sure that your device 
has a clear view of the sky.
