About 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 licences
for 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.
If you browse to an area which is not covered by
maps already downloaded in your device, a map for
the area is automatically downloaded through the
internet. Some maps may be available in your
device or on a memory card. You can also use the
Nokia Map Loader PC software to download maps.
To install Nokia Map Loader to a compatible PC, see
www.nokia.com/maps.
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.

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.

Network positioning

Select Menu > Maps.
You can use the mobile network to find your current
location, even indoors. This is faster but less
accurate than with GPS, and you cannot use the
location as a starting point for navigation.
To use the mobile network for positioning, select
the network-based positioning method from the
device settings. When you start the Maps
application and your GPS connection is ready, GPS
replaces mobile network as the positioning
method.
