Download and update maps
To avoid mobile data transfer costs, download the latest maps and voice guidance
files to your computer, and then transfer and save them to your device.
Use the Nokia Ovi Suite application to download the latest maps and voice guidance
files to your compatible computer. To download and install Nokia Ovi Suite on your
compatible computer, go to www.ovi.com.
Tip: Save new maps to your device before a journey, so you can browse the
maps without an internet connection when travelling abroad.
To make sure your device does not use an internet connection, in the main menu,
select   > Internet > Connection > Offline.
About positioning methods
Maps displays your location on the map using GPS, A-GPS, or cell ID based
positioning.
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 improves
the speed and accuracy of the positioning.
When you use Maps for the first time, you are prompted to define an internet access
point to download map information or use A-GPS.
 indicates the availability of the satellite signals. One bar is one satellite.
When the device is searching for satellite signals, the bar is yellow. When there is
enough data available to calculate your location, the bar turns green. The more
green bars, the more reliable the location calculation.
