About Maps

Press

, and select

Maps

.

With Maps, you can see your current location on the

map, browse maps for different cities and countries,

search for addresses and different points of interest,

plan routes from one location to another, and save

locations as landmarks and send them to compatible

devices.
You can also purchase extra services, such as guides

and a turn-by-turn navigation service with voice

guidance.

Tip: You can try out the turn-by-turn navigation

service for three days using free licence.

See

"Navigation", p. 44.

Maps uses GPS.

See "Positioning (GPS)", p. 35.

You can

define the positioning methods used with your device

in the device settings.

See "Positioning

settings", p. 148.

For the most accurate location

information, use either the internal GPS or a

compatible external GPS receiver.
When you browse a map in Maps, the map data for the

area is automatically downloaded to your device

through the internet. A new map is downloaded only

if you scroll to an area which is not covered by maps

already downloaded. Some maps may be pre-loaded

on the memory card in your device. You can download

more maps using Nokia Map Loader PC software.

See

"Download maps", p. 42.

Downloading maps may involve the transmission of

large amounts of data through your service provider's

network. Contact your service provider for information

about data transmission charges.

Tip: You can also download maps by using a

wireless LAN connection.

When you use Maps for the first time, you may need to

define an internet access point for downloading map

information for your current location. To change the

default access point later, select

for details and roaming costs.
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.
