About Maps
Press

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, view traffic details, and
save locations as favourites and send them to compatible
devices.
You can also purchase extra services, such as guides, a
turn-by-turn Drive & Walk navigation service with voice
guidance, and a traffic information service.
Maps uses GPS.
See "Positioning (GPS)", p. 35.
You can
define the positioning methods used with your device in
the device settings.
See "Positioning settings", p. 150.
For
the most accurate location information, use either the
internal GPS or a compatible external GPS receiver.
When you use Maps for the first time, you may need to
define an internet access point for downloading map
information for your current location. To change the
default access point later, in Maps, select

When you browse a map in Maps, the map data for the
area is automatically downloaded to your device through
the internet. A new map is downloaded only if you scroll
to an area which is not covered by maps already
downloaded. Some maps may be pre-loaded on the
memory card in your device.
You can download more maps to your device using Nokia
Map Loader PC software.
See "Download maps", p. 42.
Tip: You can also download maps by using a
wireless LAN connection.
Downloading maps may involve the transmission of large
amounts of data through your service provider's network.
Contact your service provider for information about data
transmission charges.
