If your device has found satellites, a bar for each satellite is shown in the satellite

info view. The longer the bar, the stronger the satellite signal. When your device

has received enough data from the satellite signal to calculate your location, the

bar color changes.
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.
To view the positions of found satellites, select

If no satellite signal can be found, consider the following:

If you are indoors, go outdoors to receive a better signal.

If you are outdoors, move to a more open space.

If the weather conditions are bad, the signal strength may be affected.

Some vehicles have tinted (athermic) windows, which may block the satellite

signals.

Ensure you do not cover the antenna with your hand.
