Using Nokia Maps

Searching for a location at a remote position

The search function finds locations near the focus indicator. If you want to find locations at a remote location, you need to display the remote location on the map first.

For example, assume you live in New York City and are planning to spend a week with a friend in London. To find a cinema close to your friend's apartment, do the following:

  • Find your friend's address through an address search, or by using one of your contacts.
  • To select your friend's address in the list, select Options > Use this place > Show on map.
  • To find cinemas near your friend's place, type "cinema". You can also search a guide (by selecting Options > Extra services. For more information about guides, see "Guides".

Alternatively, you can also move the focus indicator to your friend's apartment and start searching as described above or choose a location from by category, as described below.
