Display indicators
Select Menu > Maps.
The GPS indicator
shows the availability
of the satellite signals. One bar is one satellite.
When the device tries to find satellite signals, the
bar is yellow. When the device receives enough data
from the satellites for GPS to calculate your location,
the bar turns green. The more green bars, the more
reliable the location calculation.
Initially, your device must receive signals from at
least four satellites to calculate your location. After
the initial calculation, signals from three satellites
may be enough.
The data transfer indicator shows the
internet connection used, and the amount of data
transferred since the application started.

When the GPS connection is active,

current location on the map.

When you have an active data connection and

automatically downloaded, if you browse to an area
not covered by the maps that have already been
downloaded. The maps are automatically saved in
the device memory or on a compatible memory
card, if available in your device.
