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.
