making the request is displayed. Select Accept to allow
your position information to be sent or Reject to deny the
request.
Landmarks
With Landmarks, you can save the position information of
specific locations in your device. You can sort the saved
locations into different categories, such as business, and
add other information to them, such as addresses. You can
use your saved landmarks in compatible applications, such
as GPS data.
Select Menu > Applications > Landmarks.
The coordinates in the GPS are expressed using the

GPS data
Select Menu > Applications > GPS data.
GPS data is designed to provide route guidance
information to a selected destination, position
information about your current location, and travelling
information, such as the approximate distance to the
destination and the approximate duration of travel.
The coordinates in the GPS are expressed in degrees and
decimal degrees format using the international WGS-84
coordinate system.
To use GPS data, the GPS receiver of your device must
initially receive position information from at least four
satellites 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.
