Travel and maps

Using location services

Location services allow applications such as Maps and the camera to use information from mobile and Wi-Fi® networks as well as Global Positioning System (GPS) information to determine your approximate location. If you're not within a clear line of sight to GPS satellites, your device can determine your location using the Wi-Fi® function. And if you're not within range of a Wi-Fi® network, your device can determine your location using your mobile network.

In order to use your device to find out where you are, you need to enable location services.

To enable location services

1 From your Home screen, tap .

2Find and tap Settings > Location.

3Drag the slider beside Location to the right.

4 Tap Agree twice to confirm.

When you enable location services, both GPS satellites and Google's location service get enabled by default. You can disable either option manually.

To allow Google apps to access your location

1 From your Home screen, tap .

2Find and tap Settings > Google > Location.

3 Drag the slider beside Location to the right.

4 Tap Agree twice to confirm.

When you enable location services, both GPS satellites and Google's location service get enabled by default. You can disable either option manually.

Improving GPS accuracy

The first time you use the GPS function in your device, it can take 5 to 10 minutes for your location to be found. To help the search, make sure you have a clear view of the sky. Stand still and don't cover the GPS antenna (the highlighted area in the image).

GPS signals can pass through clouds and plastic, but not through most solid objects such as buildings and mountains. If your location isn't found after a few minutes, move to another location.

Google Maps™ and navigation

Use Google Maps™ to track your current location, view real-time traffic situations and receive detailed directions to your destination.

When you view a map, you use data traffic to get an Internet connection, and data is transferred to your device. So it's a good idea to save a map and make it available offline before you take a trip. This way, you can avoid high roaming costs.

The Google Maps™ application requires the use of an Internet connection when used online. You may incur data connection charges when you connect to the Internet from your device. Contact your network operator for more information. The Google Maps™ application may not be available in every market, country or region.

The display is another highlight of the D2302. It boasts a 4.8-inch qHD TFT LCD screen with a resolution of 540 x 960 pixels.

Photography enthusiasts will appreciate the 8MP rear camera, which brings several advanced features such as HDR and the ability to shoot 1080p video. The camera is supported by an LED flash, enabling users to capture memorable moments in various lighting conditions.
