Maps

Google Maps allow you to track your current location, view
real-time traffic issues, and view detailed destination directions.
There is also a search tool included to help you locate places of
interest or a specific address. You can view locations on a vector
or aerial map, or you can view locations at the street level.

Important!: Before using Google Maps you must have an active data (3G/4G)

or Wi-Fi connection. The Maps application does not cover every
country or city.

From the Home screen, tap

(Applications)

(Maps).

Important!: For best results, it is recommended that you enable all of your

location services. For more information, refer to “Location and
Security”
on page 228.

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.

Important!: The more location determining functions are enabled, the more

accurate the determination will be of your position.

Selecting 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.
