Hey, i also using 5230, how do i know whether the gps is working or not ah? I installed the ovi maps then i go to my position, the bottom right corner there shows 0kb and one bar only.
I never use OVI maps yet, but I think the 0kb is how much ovi map download map?
To check if the gps working or not, Application > Location > GPS Data > Position.
Select Option > Satellite status; to see Signal strength. Usually minimum 3 satellite are needed to lock the position.
Btw, do this outdoor.
There 3 methods how your handphone to get position;
1. A-GPS/ Assisted GPS - when seeking location will charge you gprs/network connection and you can get lock faster. (If you use postpaid with unlimited network so better turn this on.)
2. Integrated GPS - free but a slower to get lock, sometimes takes 5-15 minutes.
3. Network based - charge a small amount but so slow, it is wise to turn this off.
- Bluetooh GPS - is a piece of GPS you have to buy and connected to you Handphone via bluetooth.
There is option to turn enable which Position method to use, Application > Location > Positoning > Positioning methods.
Because I'm using prepaid I only turn on Integrated GPS. It is slower but free.
