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 check mark

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

in poor weather

around high-voltage or electromagnetic fields

in a vehicle with tinted windows
