A method (200, 600) and an apparatus (700) for a wireless portable
communication device (102) for determining coarse position information
are provided. The wireless portable communication device (102) receives
information about a plurality of visible satellites (106, 108, 110), and
determines a coarse position of the wireless portable communication
device (102) and uncertainty parameters expected at the coarse position,
using the determined coarse position and uncertainties to acquire
satellites.
