About Maps
Select > Maps .
With Maps, you can see your current location on the map,
browse maps of different cities and countries, search for
places, and plan routes from one location to another.
When you open Maps, you may need to select an internet
access point used to stream map data.
When you browse to a new area on the map, map data is
streamed from the internet. Some maps may be available in
your device or on a memory card.
Tip: To avoid data transfer costs, you can also use Maps
without an internet connection, and browse the maps that
are saved in your device or memory card.
Note: Downloading content such as maps, satellite images,
voice files, guides or traffic information may involve
transmission of large amounts of data (network service).
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.
