Turning location services on or off
In order to find your location on HTC Desire 501, you need to enable location sources.
1. Slide the Notifications panel open, and then tap
2. Select or clear the location sources you want to turn on or off.
Turning off a location service means no applications on HTC Desire 501 will collect
your location data through that location service. However, third party applications
may collect — and HTC Desire 501 may continue to provide — location data through
other services, including through Wi‑Fi and signal triangulation.

About Locations
Search for places of interest, get directions to places you want to go to, and drive
using turn-by-turn GPS navigation with Locations. Locations is also your perfect travel
companion, whether you're at home or when you're in a different country. With
Locations, you can download maps beforehand so you don't have to worry about
having an Internet connection while on the road or costly data roaming charges when
abroad.
If you are in an area where there are a lot of surrounding buildings, Locations may
have a hard time pinpointing your location.
Finding your location and what's around you
1. From the Home screen, tap
2. If you don't see your current location on the map, tap
3. Tap Quick links > Nearby.
