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 obtain the GPS
position faster.
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.
You must have an internet access point defined in
the device to retrieve assistance data from the
Nokia A-GPS service over a packet data connection.
To define an access point for A-GPS, press 
, and
select

. A wireless LAN access point cannot be used
for this service. Only a packet data internet access
point can be used. Your device asks for the internet
access point when GPS is used for the first time.
Hold your device correctly
The GPS receiver is located on the back of the device.
When using the receiver, make sure that you do not
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.
Tips on creating a GPS
connection
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.
●
Ensure that your hand does not cover the GPS
antenna of your device. 
●
If the weather conditions are bad, the signal
strength may be affected.
