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.

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.

When the GPS connection is active, Icon shows your current location on the map.

To view your current or last known location, select Options > My position.

To move on the map, drag the map. The map is oriented towards north by default.

When you have an active data connection and browse the map on the display, a new map is automatically downloaded if you scroll to an area not covered by the maps that have already been downloaded. The maps are automatically saved in the device memory or on a compatible memory card, if inserted.

To zoom in and out on the map, tap + and -.

To change the map type, select Options > Map mode.

The GPS indicator Icon shows the availability of the satellite signals. One bar is one satellite. When the device tries to find satellite signals, the bar is yellow. When the device receives enough data from the satellites for GPS to calculate your location, the bar turns green. The more green bars, the more reliable the location calculation.

Initially, your device must receive signals from at least four satellites to calculate your location. After the initial calculation, signals from three satellites may be enough.

The data transfer indicator Icon shows the internet connection used, and the amount of data transferred since the application started.

To search for locations, tap the information area above the map, and select Explore. Start entering the location name in the search field. The device suggests matching nearby locations. Select the location from the list, or enter the location name in the search field, and select Search.
