Move and use
Use the compass

Nokia 6210 Navigator has an inbuilt magnetic compass. You can only use it when you are not navigating. Turn the compass on by selecting in the navigator application Options > Tools > Turn compass on. When the compass is not in use, the circle around the compass is white and the map view does not turn automatically. To enable the compass and try to find your current position press Navigator key. If the circle around the compass is red , the compass is not calibrated. To calibrate the compass, rotate the device around all axes with your wrist in a continous movement until the circle is green. If the circle is yellow , the calibration accuracy is low and you should continue rotating device. When you rotate the device, make sure that the device display momentarily faces toward the ground. When the compass is enabled and the circle around the compass is green , the map view turns automatically according to which direction the top of the device is pointing.

Note that the compass works properly only when you are using the My position mode. Pressing Navi key will disable the compass. You can go back to the My position mode by simply pressing the Navigator key and move your wrist to calibrate the compass again. Compass can not work properly when there are large metal objects nearby or when it is used inside a car.

Positioning the GPS

When on the move, you might want to use the GPS receiver. To position your device correctly, move it from an upright position to an angle of about 45 degrees, with an unobstructed view of the sky. If your device cannot find the satellite signal, consider the following: If you are indoors, go outdoors to receive a better signal. If you are outdoors, move to a more open space. Check that your hand does not cover the GPS receiver of your device. If the weather conditions are bad, the signal strength may be affected.
