Nokia Maps

Maps

Select Menu > Maps.
With Maps, you can see your 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 and send them to compatible devices. You
can also purchase licenses for extra services, such as
travel guides, traffic information and navigation
service with voice guidance. These services are not
available for all countries or regions.
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 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 on a memory card.
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.
Downloading maps and extra services may involve the
transmission of large amounts of data through your
service provider's network. For more information on
data transmission charges, contact your service
provider.

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.
