Maps
Use this application to pinpoint the location of the device, search for places, or get directions.
Before using Google Maps you must have at least an active data connection. The
Maps application does not cover every country or city..
Enable a Location Source
Before you can use Google Maps to find your location or search for places of interest, you
must enable a location source (either the wireless network, or GPS satellites). To enable GPS
satellites:
On the Applications screen, tap Settings → Connections → Location Services → Use GPS
satellites to place a green checkmark in the selection box.
Using GPS satellites allows you to locate places of interest at the street level, however
this 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:
• Inside a building or between buildings
• In a tunnel or underground passage
• In poor weather
• Around high-voltage or electromagnetic fields
• In a vehicle with tinted windows
