GPS data

information, such as the approximate distance to the

destination and approximate duration of travel.

Route guidance

Select Menu > Applications > Location and GPS

data > Navigation.

Start the route guidance outdoors. If started indoors,

the GPS receiver may not receive the necessary

information from the satellites.

Route guidance is designed to show the straightest

route and the shortest distance to the destination,

measured in a straight line. Any obstacles on the route,

such as buildings and natural obstacles, are ignored.

Differences in altitude are not taken into account when

calculating the distance. Route guidance is active only

when you move.

To set your trip destination, select Options > Set

destination and a landmark as the destination, or

enter the latitude and longitude coordinates. To clear

the destination set for your trip, select Stop

navigation.

Retrieve position information

Select Menu > Applications > Location and GPS

data > Position.

In the position view, you can view the position

information of your current location. An estimate of

the accuracy of the location is displayed.

To save your current location as a landmark, select

Options > Save position. Landmarks are saved

locations with more information, and they can be used

in other compatible applications and transferred

between compatible devices.
