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.
Important! The more location determining functions are
enabled, the more accurate the determination is of
your position.
1. From the main Settings page, tap More tab
services.
2. Tap Use GPS satellites to enable the GPS satellite.
3. Tap Use wireless networks to allow apps to use data
from sources such as Wi-Fi and mobile networks to
provide a better approximation of your current location.
4. Tap My places to enable the storage of your favorite
locations.
