Places
Places is an application that uses Google Maps and your location
to help you find Restaurants, Coffee, Bars, Hotels, Attractions,
ATMs, and Gas Stations. You can also add your own locations.
The Places application allows you to find the best sources for
business information across the web, including business listing
details, reviews, photos, nearby public transit, and other related
information. Business owners can provide additional details, like
photos, hours of operation, and coupons.

Power Control
Active applications, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, Synchronization, or
the LCD Brightness functionality all act to drain your battery.
The Power Control widget is designed to quickly activate (turn on)
or deactivate (turn off) those functions or applications that use
the most battery power.
The following is a list of helpful tips that can help conserve your
battery power:
Reduce your backlight time.
•
Turn off Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and Synchronization when not in use.
•
Deactivate the GPS when it is not needed. Most applications that use
•
this function periodically query the GPS satellites for the current
location. Each query drains your battery.
Turn off Automatic application synchronization.
•
Close any applications that may be running in the background (such as
•
Music Player).
