INTRODUCTION INTRODUCTION With Nokia Maps, you can see the current location on the map, browse maps for different cities and countries, search for addresses and different points of interest, plan routes from one location to another, and save locations as landmarks and send them to compatible devices.

INTRODUCTION GPS should only be used as a navigation aid. It should not be used for precise location measurement and you should never rely solely on location data from the GPS receiver for positioning or navigation.
Set up network connections When you use Nokia Maps for the first time, you may need to define an internet access point for downloading map information for your current location.
GET STARTED The map When you open Nokia Maps for the first time, the map is centred on your GPS position or last known location if available. If no position is available, the map is centred on the capital or major city of the current country or region, determined by the local network.

The longer the bar, the stronger the satellite signal. When your GPS device receives signals from four satellites, Nokia Maps can show the coordinates of the current location and show it on the map. Please note that in certain situations, only three satellites are needed to calculate a position.
The counter shows the amount of transferred data when you browse maps, create routes, or search for locations online. The counter is reset each time you restart Nokia Maps. GPS indicator The GPS indicator shows the availability and strength of the GPS signal.
