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.
Network positioning
Select Menu > Applications > GPS > 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.
Move on a map
When the GPS connection is active, shows your current
location on the map.
To view your current or last known location, select
Options > My position.
To move on the map, scroll up, down, left, or right with
the scroll key. 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, press the left and right
shift keys, or the shift key and the backspace key,
depending on the keyboard of your device.
To change the map type, select Options > Map mode.
Display indicators
The GPS indicator 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 the coordinates of your location.
After the initial calculation, signals from three satellites
may be enough.
The data transfer indicator shows the
internet connection used, and the amount of data
transferred since the application started.
Find locations
To search for locations, press the scroll key and select
Explore. Start entering the location name in the search
field. The device suggests matching nearby locations.
