Nokia website.

About Maps

Select Menu > Maps.
With Maps, you can see your current location on the
map, browse maps of different cities and countries,
search for places, plan routes from one location to
another, save locations, and send them to
compatible devices. You can also purchase traffic
information and navigation services, if available for
your country or region.
When you use Maps for the first time, you may need
to select an internet access point for downloading
maps.
When you have an active data connection and
browse the map on the display, a new map is
automatically downloaded, if you browse to an area
not covered by the maps that have already been
downloaded. You can also use the Nokia Map Loader
PC software to download maps. To install Nokia Map
Loader to a compatible PC, visit www.nokia.com/
maps (in English).

Tip: To avoid data transfer costs, you can also
use Maps without an internet connection, and
browse the maps that are saved in your device
or memory card, if available in your device.
Note: Downloading content such as maps,
satellite images, voice files, guides or traffic
information may involve transmission of large
amounts of data (network service).
Almost all digital cartography is inaccurate and
incomplete to some extent. Never rely solely on the
cartography that you download for use in this
device.

About GPS

The Global Positioning System (GPS) is operated by
the government of the United States, which is solely
responsible for its accuracy and maintenance. The
accuracy of location data can be affected by
adjustments to GPS satellites made by the United
States government and is subject to change with
the United States Department of Defense civil GPS
policy and the Federal Radionavigation Plan.
Accuracy can also be affected by poor satellite
geometry. Availability and quality of GPS signals
