About Maps
With Maps, you can see your current location on the map, browse maps for
different cities and countries, navigate to a destination with voice guidance,
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 travel guides and traffic information.
These services are not available in all countries or regions.
Some maps may be pre-loaded on the memory card in your device. You can
download more maps through the internet using Nokia Map Loader PC software.
See “Download maps,” p. 38.
Maps uses GPS. You can define the positioning methods used with your device.
See “Positioning settings,” p. 34. For the most accurate location information, use
either the internal GPS or a compatible external GPS receiver.
