Nokia Maps

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 licenses 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.
When you have an active GPS connection and browse
the map in the display, a new map is automatically
downloaded if you scroll 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.

Network positioning

You can use the mobile network to find your current
location. This is faster but less accurate than with GPS,
and you cannot use the location as a starting point for
navigation.
Select Menu > Maps.
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.
