A GPS indicator
on the bottom right of the display shows the
availability and strength of the satellite signal. One bar indicates one satellite.
When the device receives enough data from the satellite to establish a GPS
connection, the bar turns green. Your device must receive signals from at least
four satellites to calculate the coordinates of your location. After the initial
calculation, signals from three satellites may be enough.
To zoom in or out, press * or #. To move on the map, use the scroll keys. A new map
is automatically downloaded if you scroll to an area which is not covered by maps
already downloaded. See ‘Download maps,’ p. 29. The maps are free of charge, but
downloading may involve the transmission of large amounts of data through your
service provider's network. For more information on data transmission charges,
contact your service provider. The maps are automatically saved in the device
memory or on a compatible memory card (if inserted).
