Maps

Depending on your location, you can view basic, custom, and
satellite maps and local business information, including
locations, contact information, and driving directions. You
can also post public messages about a location and track
your friends.
Important! Before using Google Maps you must have at least
an active data (3G) connection. The Maps
application does not cover every country or city.
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 Apps menu, tap Settings
Location services.
2. Tap the Use GPS satellites field. A green checkmark
displays next to the field.
