Check satellite signal status
To check how many satellites your device has found, and whether your device is
receiving satellite signals, select Menu > Applications > Location > GPS data and
Options > Satellite status.
If your device has found satellites, a bar for each satellite is displayed in the satellite
information view. The longer the bar, the stronger the satellite signal is. When your
device has received enough data from the satellite signal to calculate the
coordinates of your location, the bar color changes.
Initially, your device must receive signals from at least four satellites to be able 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.
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.
