About Maps

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 maps may involve the transmission of large amounts of data through your service provider’s network. Contact your service provider for information about data transmission charges.

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.

Display indicators

The GPS indicatorshows 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 the coordinates of your location. After
