GPS displaying wrong position..

[Pilkington]

Hello -

I'm sorry that my first post on these forums is a request for help, but it's an issue for me.
Whenever I load up the GPS application, and then press the GPS Pos(ition) button - presumably it finds my current location- it displays me as somewhere in Germany.

This is untrue, yet it does not seem to change. Am I meant to simply leave it for 20 minutes or something, or what?

Thankyou.

is the screen showing a red cross with a picture of an antenna just above the right soft key?

You have not yet obtained a lock. In fact the software is made by a German company, and what you are seeing is the default starting position of the mapping application.

Obtaining a lock wont be immediate, and you can search here for more information on obtaining a GPS lock:

When you start the Maps applications, it will position you where you were the last time you had a Satellite lock.

You need to wait for the Satellite to Lock On and find your current location.


If it still shows the wrong location after a Satellite Lock, delete the Maps and re-download them using Nokia MapLoader
