Local

Local is an application that uses Google Maps and your location to help you find Restaurants, Cafes, Bars, Attractions, and other businesses. You can also add your own locations.

1.From the Home screen, tap ➔ Local .

2.Tap on one of the business categories to search for a particular business.

All of the business categories that are close to you will be displayed.

3.Tap on a business to view the details.

4.The business details such as address, phone, website, and location are displayed. You can also see reviews from around the web and from Google users.

Maps

Depending on your location, you can view basic, custom, and satellite maps and local business information, including locations, contact information, and driving directions. You can also post public messages about a location and track your friends.

Important! Before using Google Maps you must have at least an active data (3G) connection. The Maps application does not cover every country or city.

Enabling a Location Source

Before you use Google Maps and find your location or search for places of interest, you must enable a location source. To enable the location source you must enable the wireless network, or enable the GPS satellites.

1.From the Home screen, tap ➔ Settings ➔ More ➔ Location services.

2.Tap the Use GPS satellites field. A green checkmark will display next to the field.

Note: Selecting Use GPS satellites allows you to locate places of interest at the street-level. However, this also requires a clear view of the sky and uses more battery power.

To receive better GPS signals, avoid using your device in the following conditions:

•inside a building or between buildings

•in a tunnel or underground passage
