With Maps, you can browse maps of different cities and countries, search for addresses
and places of interest, and view your current position, if available. You can also plan
routes, and get turn-by-turn navigation guidance.
If there are maps available in your device or on an inserted memory card, you can browse
them without an internet connection. When you browse to an area which is not covered
by the maps already downloaded in your device, a map for the area is automatically
downloaded through the internet. You may be prompted to select an access point to
use with the internet connection.
Downloading maps may involve the transmission of large amounts of data through your
service provider's network. For information about data transmission charges, contact
your service provider.
Some services may not be available in all countries, and may be provided only in selected
languages.
When you open Maps, select from the following:
Current position  — View your current location.
Recent locat.  — View the locations you have browsed.
Find address  — Search for a specific address.
Point me to  — View the direction to a destination, displayed in a straight line.
Saved locations  — Find a location you have saved on your device.
Plan route  — Plan a route.
Settings  — Define the Maps settings.
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.
Introduction
About positioning methods
Maps displays your location on the map using GPS or A-GPS.
The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a satellite-based navigation system used for
calculating your location. Assisted GPS (A-GPS) is a network service that uses local
network information to improve the speed and accuracy of the GPS positioning.
