Position Requests - Nokia 6790 Guia Del Usuario

To view the positions of found satellites, select Chg. view.
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.
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.
● Ensure that your hand does not cover the GPS antenna of
your device.
● If the weather conditions are bad, the signal strength may
be affected.
● Some vehicles have tinted (athermic) windows, which
may block the satellite signals.

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.
