GPS data
Select Menu > Applications > GPS data.
GPS data is designed to provide route guidance
information to a selected destination, position
information about your current location, and
travelling information, such as the approximate
distance to the destination and the approximate
duration of travel.
The coordinates in the GPS are expressed in degrees
and decimal degrees format using the international
WGS-84 coordinate system.
To use GPS data, the GPS receiver of your device
must initially receive position information from at
least four satellites to calculate the coordinates of
your location. When the initial calculation has been
made, it may be possible to continue calculating the
coordinates of your location with three satellites.
However, the accuracy is generally better when
more satellites are found.
Route guidance
Select Menu > Applications > GPS data and
Navigation.
Start the route guidance outdoors. If started
indoors, the GPS receiver may not receive the
necessary information from the satellites.
Route guidance uses a rotating compass on the
device display. A red ball shows the direction to the
destination, and the approximate distance to it is
shown inside the compass ring.
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 > GPS data and
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.
Trip meter
Select Menu > Applications > GPS data and Trip
distance.
The trip meter has limited accuracy, and rounding
errors may occur. Accuracy can also be affected by
availability and quality of GPS signals.
To turn trip distance calculation on or off, select
Options > Start orStop. The calculated values
remain on the display. Use this feature outdoors to
receive a better GPS signal.
To set the trip distance and time and average and
maximum speeds to zero, and to start a new
calculation, select Options > Reset. To set the trip
meter and total time to zero, select Restart.
Nokia Maps
About Maps
With Maps, you can see your current location on the
map, browse maps of different cities and countries,
search for places, plan routes from one location to
another, save locations, and send them to
compatible devices. You can also purchase licences
for traffic information and navigation services, if
available for your country or region.
When you use Maps for the first time, you may need
to select an internet access point for downloading
maps.
If you browse to an area which is not covered by
maps already downloaded in your device, a map for
the area is automatically downloaded through the
internet. Some maps may be available in your
device or on a memory card. You can also use the
Nokia Map Loader PC software to download maps.
To install Nokia Map Loader to a compatible PC, see
www.nokia.com/maps.
Tip: To avoid data transfer costs, you can also
use Maps without an internet connection, and
browse the maps that are saved in your device
or memory card.
Note: Downloading content such as maps,
satellite images, voice files, guides or traffic
information may involve transmission of large
amounts of data (network service).
Almost all digital cartography is inaccurate and
incomplete to some extent. Never rely solely on the
cartography that you download for use in this
device.
Network positioning
Select Menu > Maps.
You can use the mobile network to find your current
location, even indoors. This is faster but less
accurate than with GPS, and you cannot use the
location as a starting point for navigation.
To use the mobile network for positioning, select
the network-based positioning method from the
device settings. When you start the Maps
application and your GPS connection is ready, GPS
replaces mobile network as the positioning
method.
Compass
Select Menu > Maps.
Your device has an internal compass. When the
compass is enabled, the circle around the compass
is green, and the map view rotates automatically
according to the direction to which the top of the
device is pointing.
The compass has limited accuracy. Electromagnetic
fields, metal objects, or other external
circumstances may also affect the accuracy of the
compass. The compass should always be properly
calibrated.
The compass is active by default. To turn off the
compass, in the Maps main view, select Options >
Tools > Turn compass off. When the compass is
not turned on, the circle around the compass is
white, and the map view does not rotate
automatically. Turning off the compass is only valid
for the current session. When you open Maps the
next time, it will be turned on automatically.
Before you can calibrate the compass you should
check the following:
● GPS connection is active.
● The device sensors are on. Select Menu >
Settings > Phone > Sensor settings >
Sensors > On.
● The map is zoomed to your GPS position.
Otherwise the compass icon is not shown.
To calibrate the compass:
Rotate the
device
around all
axes in a
continuous
movement
until the
calibration
indicator
changes
its colour to
green . If the
indicator is yellow , the accuracy of the compass is
low. If the indicator is red, the compass is not
calibrated.
Move on a map
When the GPS connection is active, shows your
current location on the map.
To view your current or last known location, select
Options > My position.
To move on the map, scroll up, down, left, or right
with the scroll key. The map is oriented towards
north by default.
When you have an active data connection and
browse the map on the display, a new map is
automatically downloaded if you scroll to an area
not covered by the maps that have already been
downloaded. The maps are automatically saved in
the device memory or on a compatible memory
card, if inserted.
To zoom in and out on the map, press * and #.
To change the map type, select Options > Map
mode.
