Find Places; Find A Location - Nokia E71 User Manual

The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a satellite-based
navigation system used for calculating your location. Assisted
GPS (A-GPS) is a network service that sends you GPS data,
improving the speed and accuracy of the positioning.
When you use Maps for the first time, you are prompted to
define an internet access point to download map information
or use A-GPS.
indicates the availability of the satellite signals.
One bar is one satellite. When the device is searching for
satellite signals, the bar is yellow. When there is enough data
available to calculate your location, the bar turns green. The
more green bars, the more reliable the location calculation.
The Global Positioning System (GPS) is operated by the
government of the United States, which is solely responsible
for its accuracy and maintenance. The accuracy of location
data can be affected by adjustments to GPS satellites made
by the United States government and is subject to change
with the United States Department of Defense civil GPS policy
and the Federal Radionavigation Plan. Accuracy can also be
affected by poor satellite geometry. Availability and quality
of GPS signals may be affected by your location, buildings,
natural obstacles and weather conditions. GPS signals may
not be available inside buildings or underground and may be
impaired by materials such as concrete and metal.
GPS should not be used for precise location measurement,
and you should never rely solely on location data from the
GPS receiver and cellular radio networks for positioning or
navigation.
The trip meter has limited accuracy, and rounding errors may
occur. Accuracy can also be affected by availability and quality
of GPS signals.

With cell ID based positioning, the position is determined
through the antenna tower your cellular phone is currently
connected to.
Depending on the available positioning method, the accuracy
of positioning may vary from a few meters to several
kilometers.
