Loader PC software to download maps. To install Nokia Map
Loader to a compatible PC, go to www.nokia.com/maps.
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, if
available in your device.
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.
Network positioning
You can use the mobile network to find your current location.
This is faster but less accurate than with GPS, and you cannot
use the location as a starting point for navigation.
Select Menu > Applications > GPS > Maps.
Use the mobile network for positioning — Select the
network-based positioning method from the device settings.
When you start the Maps application and your GPS connection
is ready, GPS replaces mobile network as the positioning
method.
Move on a map
Select Menu > Applications > GPS > Maps.
When the GPS connection is active, shows your current
location on the map.
View your current or last known location — Select
Options > My position.
Move on the map — Use the scroll key. By default, the map
is oriented north.
When you have an active data connection and browse the
map on the display, a new map is automatically downloaded,
if you browse to an area not covered by the maps that have
already been downloaded. The maps are automatically saved
in the device memory or on a compatible memory card, if
available in your device.
Zoom in and out on the map — Press the left and right shift
keys, or the shift key and the backspace key, depending on
the keyboard of your device.
Change the map type — Select Options > Map mode.
Display indicators
Select Menu > Applications > GPS > Maps.
The GPS indicator
shows the availability of the
satellite signals. One bar is one satellite. When the device tries
to find satellite signals, the bar is yellow. When the device
receives enough data from the satellites for GPS to calculate
your location, the bar turns green. The more green bars, the
more reliable the location calculation.
Initially, your device must receive signals from at least four
satellites to calculate your location. After the initial
calculation, signals from three satellites may be enough.
