How do I use GPS and Maps on my new Nokia N95?

Hi everyone.
Apologies if my questions seem very stupid
I have read my manuals but don't understand how to use the GPS or to use maps. (FYI - I live in Australia).
-When I go to the menu, and click onto Maps, it loads up a picture of the world but nothing happens. There is a little wavey line thing in the top right corner that moves - does this mean it is searching for a position?
-Someone said everyone needs to make sure their GPS Receiver is turned on - what does this mean?
-Is there anything I need to download before I can use maps or GPS?
-Am I just supposed to go outside after clicking on maps, and wait for it to find a position?
-Do I need to download anything?
Thanks everyone. I am just so confused about how this actually works and can't seem to find any basic instructions or information.
Thanks, Doc

Hi doc18
Firstly if you are using v12.0.013 software on your N95 it is a lot quicker to obtain fix with A-GPS feature, although an active connection via WLAN or Network is needed. The symbol for this is a bit like two curtailed arrowheads at top right of screen.
There is an updated version of Nokia Maps 1.0 available:
http://europe.nokia.com/A4509291
Go outside away from buildings and tress with clear view of sky. Open slider and hold phone at 45degrees, don't cover "#" key as GPS antenna beneath it. Low cloud or rain will make satellite acquisition a lot longer.
If you go to Menu > Tools > GPS data > (searching for + calculating data) > Position > Options > Satellite status
This shows any number of satellites up to five - empty rectangle = not locked on - black filled rectangle = signal acquired; you need a minimum of 3 solid bars for lock-on and triangulation to work!
If you return to using Nokia Maps application the "red cross" disappears off satellite icon bottom right of screen when locked on.
Happy to have helped forum in a small way with a Support Ratio = 37.0

  • HT2534 how do i use itunes and the app store without any credit card or gift card?

    i just got my iphone and i used to use itunes all the time before when downloading all songs were completly free, how do i use itunes and the app store to find free stuff to download without having to add a credit card or gift card with my account?

    Create a NEW account/ID for her using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before. Make sure you specify a birthdate that results in being at least 13 years old

  • How can I use undo and redo with run time menu?

    Hi..I try to built my own menu for graphic programming. How can I use undo and redo in labview with run time menu?

    filozof-
    During runtime, by default, LabVIEW has undo/redo data changes under the edit menu. This will undo/redo changes made to controls during runtime. If you want a more extensive undo/redo (custom for your application), you are going to have to do quite a few things
    1) Create a custom runtime menu (Edit>>RunTime Menu) and place your own undo/redo controls on it
    2) Keep an action history in your program
    3) Catch the Shortcut menu event for your custom undo/redo controls
    4) Reverse the last action in your histroy when you catch the event
    This method would allow you undo entire operations (like resize, move, or whatever kind of functionality you are building into your application) unstead of just undoing data changes.

    If it's showing the connect to iTunes screen then you will need to do that.
    But Apple don't provide any method to update the first gen iPad to iOS 5 (nor do they support downgrading the iOS version).

  • Why and how do we use CHAIN and ENDCHAIN

    Why and how do we use CHAIN and ENDCHAIN

    Hi,
    To ensure that one or more PAI modules are only called when several screen fields meet a particular condition, you must combine the calls in the flow logic to form a processing chain. You define processing chains as follows:
    CHAIN.
    ENDCHAIN.
    All flow logic statements between CHAIN and ENDCHAIN belong to a processing chain. The fields in the various FIELD statements are combined, and can be used in shared conditions.
    CHAIN.
      FIELD: <f1>, <f 2>,...
      MODULE <mod1> ON CHAIN-INPUT|CHAIN-REQUEST.
      FIELD: <g1>, <g 2>,...
      MODULE <mod2> ON CHAIN-INPUT|CHAIN-REQUEST.
    ENDCHAIN.
    The additions ON CHAIN-INPUT and ON CHAIN-REQUEST work like the additions ON INPUT and ON REQUEST that you use for individual fields. The exception is that the module is called whenever at least one of the fields listed in a preceding FIELD statement within the chain meets the condition. So <mod1> is called when one of the fields <fi> meets the condition. <mod2> is called when one of the fields <f i> or <g i> meets the condition.
    Within a processing chain, you can combine individual FIELD statements with a MODULE statement to set a condition for a single field within the chain:
    CHAIN.
      FIELD: <f1>, <f 2>,...
      FIELD  <f> MODULE <mod1> ON  INPUT|REQUEST|*-INPUT
                                  |CHAIN-INPUT|CHAIN-REQUEST.
      MODULE <mod2> ON CHAIN-INPUT|CHAIN-REQUEST.
    ENDCHAIN.
    The module <mod1> is called when screen field <f> meets the specified condition for individual fields. <mod2> is called when one of the fields <fi> or <f> meets the condition. If you use the addition ON CHAIN-INPUT or ON CHAIN-REQUEST with FIELD <f>, the condition also applies to the entire chain and module <mod1> and <mod2> are both called.
    In cases where you apply conditions to various combinations of screen fields, it is worth setting up a separate processing chain for each combination and calling different modules from within it.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    All iWork apps allow you to save your documents on your computer. You will be able to choose the destination when you want to save a document.
    You can also disable iCloud for some apps. To do that, go to System Preferences -> iCloud, press "Options" next to "iCloud Drive" and disable the apps you want to.
    If you have lost your old documents, you should have a backup that you made before upgrading to OS X Yosemite, so you only have to restore it.

    i had my Itunes account disabled due to fraud, if i create a new itunes account how can i switch purchases and apps to the new ID?

    Hi ...
    Just be cause the account was disabled (Apple ID) doesn't mean you can't reset the password and have access to your iTunes purchases.
    Use the iforgot link to reset your password > Apple ID: "This Apple ID has been disabled for security reasons" alert appears
    If you have problems resetting, use the email form here >   Apple - Support - iTunes Store - Contact Us

    Tap and hold an app until they all start jiggling and an X appears in the icon's top left corner. One by one tap the X to delete the app. when they are all gone you are free to buy them again with your own account.
