not sure about Nokia e72 pero you may have to load a map of the PH first. do a search of the forums meron na previous topics here on gps receivers.

Worldwide ang coverage ng GPS bro. Minsan nga lang, kailangan mo maghintay ng medyo matagal lalo na kung first time mo gamiting ang GPS mo or kung masyado ka ng malayo sa last na position ng gps.

At syempre yung location mo din. Mahirap makasagap ng signal kung maraming building na matataas na nakaharang sayo.

Initial lock-on of the GPS receiver in your mobile phone will take a few minutes.

It would also help if you can have your phone outside with a clear view of the sky.

You can also turn on A-GPS (assisted GPS) so the mobile phone can use cellphone towers to quickly and roughly locate where you are. This feature is handy if you need to know your location in a hurry without waiting for the GPS to lock.

i think you have to load the PH map first. you can install the ovi suite on your PC, connect your phone to your PC and download the map using it.

on a side note, I think ovi maps (at least the PH map) is crap. google maps mobile (at least on my blackberry) does a way better job imo.

I use Garmin Mobile XT on my E71. Works pretty well. The routable map from roadguide.ph is very useful. :D

Even without the proper map, the GPS on the mobile phone would still lock on to the location and simply display your position on a blank "map".

Nokia Maps actually is good enough for most. Just update the map to the latest release to get the details. The typical map included in the phones are old versions which only have the major roads.

Initial lock-on should take two to five minutes with a clear sky above you.

Anything above you like a roof, trees, canvass, tinted windows can block GPS signal.
