Tips and tricks for you

Navigate with GPS

To check how many satellites your device has found, and whether your device is receiving satellite signals, press the Menu key, and select Tools > Connectivity > GPS data > Position > Options > Satellite status. Or, in the Maps application, select Options > Map options > Satellite info.

Save your favourite places in 'My places'

You can also use these saved favourites in compatible applications, such as GPS data and Maps, and the saved landmarks are available in 'My places'. To access 'My places', select Menu > Maps > Options > Favourites > My places. To create a new favourite, press in the Maps view the Navi wheel and select 'Add to My places'. You can also send the co-ordinates of the place to a compatible device. To send, press the Navi wheel and select Send.

Using A-GPS

Assisted GPS (A-GPS) is used to retrieve assistance data over a packet data connection, which assists in calculating the co-ordinates of your current location when your device is receiving signals from satellites. Your network operator may charge you for this connection according to your network subscription. Contact your service provider for the correct Internet access point and charges related to the service. To enable or disable a positioning method, such as A-GPS, select Menu > Settings > Phone sett. > General > Positioning > Positioning methods, the positioning method and Enable or Disable.

Tag a map location in your photos

You can record location data with each image and video if GPS co-ordinates are found. To activate tagging in Camera, select Options > Settings > Record location > On. Note that it could take several minutes to acquire these co-ordinates and the best conditions are obtained in open areas away from tall buildings.
