Enabling a Location Source
Before you use Google Maps and find your location or search
for places of interest, you must enable a location source. To
enable the location source you must enable the wireless
network, or enable the GPS satellites.
1. From the Home screen, tap Settings
services.
2. Tap the Use GPS satellites field. A green displays next to
the field.
Note: Selecting Use GPS satellites allows you to locate places
of interest at the street-level. However, this also requires
a clear view of the sky and uses more battery power.
To receive better GPS signals, avoid using your device in the
following conditions:

•
in a tunnel or underground passage

in poor weather
•
around high-voltage or electromagnetic fields
•
