If your device has found satellites, a bar for each satellite is
shown in the satellite info view. The longer the bar, the
stronger the satellite signal. When your device has received
enough data from the satellite signal to calculate your
location, the bar colour changes.
To view the positions of found satellites, select 
Chg. view
.
Initially your device must receive signals from at least four
satellites to be able to calculate your location. When the
initial calculation has been made, it may be possible to
continue calculating your location with three satellites.
However, the accuracy is generally better when more
satellites are found.
If no satellite signal can be found, 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.
•
Some vehicles have tinted (athermic) windows, which
may block the satellite signals.
Position requests
You may receive a request from a network service to receive
your position information. Service providers may offer
information about local topics, such as weather or traffic
conditions, based on the location of your device.
When you receive a position request, the service that is
making the request is displayed. Select 
Accept
 to allow your
position information to be sent or 
Reject
 to deny the request.
