Maps and GPS Navigation

Your tablet has a preinstalled Maps app that allows you to find out your current
location on the map (for greater precision, activate the system's GPS option), view
satellite images or even an actual view of a given location. Additionally, you can select
the Navigation option to allow your device to give you instructions on how to reach
your destination from your current position, whether travelling on foot or by car.
The app can also help you locate a wide variety of companies and establishments
that have signed up to the location service.
Bear in mind that none of the above information (including the maps) is preloaded
onto your device; therefore, whenever you use the navigation function the tablet
will need to access your data connection, which could have cost implications
depending on your network operator's mobile price plan and tariffs.
Important: As your Edison 3 does not have a 3G connection, you must use it in
conjunction with an external wireless connection such as a smartphone or USB
router (these are not supplied with the tablet).

File Explorer

This app allows you to explore the folders stored in your tablet's internal memory
and on the microSD card, if you have one installed. It also allows you to copy and
move files from one folder to another, unzip compressed files and extract their
contents, without the need to connect your tablet to a computer. Additionally, you
can rename files and create new files and folders.
You can hide certain multimedia folders so that they are not shown in the
Gallery. To do so, open the File explorer, go to the folder you wish to hide and,
from within the file path, press the New icon
new file ".nomedia" and press OK to finish. You can access the hidden file and its
contents via the File explorer app whenever you like. If you want to reverse the
process and show the folder in the Gallery, simply delete the ".nomedia" file you
created previously.
