The map coverage varies by country.
When you open the Maps application, Maps zooms in to
the location that was saved from your last session. If no
position was saved from the last session, the Maps
application zooms in to the capital city of the country you
are in based on the information the device receives from
the cellular network. At the same time, the map of the
location is downloaded, if it has not been downloaded
during previous sessions.

Move and zoom
To move on the map, scroll up,
down, left, or right. The map is
oriented towards north by
default. The compass rose
displays the orientation of the
map and rotates during
navigation when the orientation
changes.
When you browse the map on
the display, a new map is
automatically downloaded if
you scroll to an area which is not covered by maps already
downloaded. These maps are free of charge, but
downloading 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.
The maps are automatically saved on a compatible
memory card (if inserted and set as the default maps
storage).
