You can use applications such as Maps to find your location, or measure distances and coordinates. These applications require a GPS connection. Using Maps, it is also possible to search for specific places such as restaurants, sights, shops, and stations.

Your device also supports assisted GPS (A-GPS), which is a network service. It retrieves assistance data over a packet data connection, which assists in calculating the coordinates of your current location when your device is receiving signals from satellites. When you activate A-GPS, your device receives useful satellite information from an assistance data server over the cellular network.

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 that is not covered by the maps already downloaded to your device, a map for the area is automatically downloaded through the Internet. Some maps may be available in your device or memory card.

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.

If you want to stop Maps from establishing an Internet connection to avoid data cost, select Options > Tools > Settings > Internet > Go online at start-up > No. This prevents your device from connecting to a network.

You can also use the Nokia Map Loader PC software to download maps. Install the Nokia Map Loader in a compatible PC. You’ll find the software from http://maps.nokia.com.
