About Maps
Select Menu > Maps.
With Maps, you can see your current location on the map,
browse maps of different cities and countries, search for
places, plan routes from one location to another, save
locations, and send them to compatible devices. You can also
purchase traffic information and navigation services, if
available for your country or region.
When you use Maps for the first time, you may need to select
an internet access point for downloading maps.
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. You can also use the Nokia Map
Loader PC software to download maps. To install Nokia Map
Loader to a compatible PC, visit www.nokia.com/maps (in
English).
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.
About GPS
The Global Positioning System (GPS) is operated by the
government of the United States, which is solely responsible
for its accuracy and maintenance. The accuracy of location
data can be affected by adjustments to GPS satellites made
by the United States government and is subject to change
with the United States Department of Defense civil GPS policy
and the Federal Radionavigation Plan. Accuracy can also be
affected by poor satellite geometry. Availability and quality
of GPS signals may be affected by your location, buildings,
natural obstacles, and weather conditions. GPS signals may
not be available inside buildings or underground and may be
impaired by materials such as concrete and metal.
GPS should not be used for precise location measurement,
and you should never rely solely on location data from the
GPS receiver and cellular radio networks for positioning or
navigation.
The trip meter has limited accuracy, and rounding errors may
occur. Accuracy can also be affected by availability and quality
of GPS signals.
Assisted GPS (A-GPS) is used to retrieve assistance data over
a packet data connection, which assists in calculating your
current location when your device is receiving signals from
satellites.
A-GPS is a network service.
