With Nokia Maps, you can see the current location on the
map, browse maps for different cities and countries,
search for addresses and different points of interest, plan
Introduction
routes from one location to another, and save locations as
landmarks and send them to compatible devices.
The use of Nokia Maps requires downloading of map data.
The maps are free of charge. However, your service
provider might charge for the transfer of the map data.
Please ask your provider for details.
You can also purchase extra services such as city guides
and a turn-by-turn navigation service with voice
guidance.
System requirements
• Nokia E90 Communicator.
• Packet data connectivity.
• Device memory or compatible memory card with at
least 5 MB of free space.
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. The integrated GPS
receiver of your Nokia E90 Communicator works best
outdoors since this allows reception of GPS signals.
GPS should only be used as a navigation aid. It should not
be used for precise location measurement and you should
never rely solely on location data from the GPS receiver for
positioning or navigation.
Positioning methods and server
The integrated GPS receiver of your Nokia E90
Communicator may have difficulties providing reliable
positions in some environments. Therefore it is suggested
that before using Nokia Maps you also activate the
Assisted GPS (A-GPS) that uses assistance servers with
good satellite signal to provide positioning information.
2 In Access point, press the scroll key and select an access
point that is available in the environment where you
plan to use Nokia Maps. Note that a wireless LAN
access point is usually not ideal for navigating.
In Server address, press the scroll key and type in the
address of your positioning server. The default server
is supl.nokia.com.
Your Nokia E90 Communicator has an internal GPS
receiver. You can use it for detecting your current position
and for turn-by-turn navigation (extra service). The GPS
receiver takes its power from the battery. Using the GPS
receiver may drain the battery faster.
Setting up network connections
When you use Nokia Maps for the first time, you may need
to define an internet access point for downloading map
information for your current location.
When you open Nokia Maps, you see an overview of the
globe. To find your GPS position, press 0 or select Options >
Find place > GPS position. When the device asks for
confirmation to search for GPS signal, answer OK.
This starts searching for a satellite signal, and Nokia Maps
starts to locate your device, and zooms in to your current
location. At the same time, Nokia Maps downloads the
map of your current location. The maps are automatically
saved in the device memory or on a compatible memory
card (if inserted).
You can browse the map, show information about the
different locations shown on it and, for example, choose
them for route planning and turn-by-turn navigation
(extra service).
Digital cartography may be inaccurate and incomplete to
some extent. Never rely solely on the cartography that you
download for use in this device.
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.
You can also use Nokia Map Loader. This PC application
allows you to select and download maps of available
regions or countries to your PC and transfer them to your
Nokia E90 Communicator. You can also download voice
skins for turn-by-turn navigation. For more information,
see “Using Nokia Map Loader”, p. 19 and maps.nokia.com.

The details of the map are explained in the following:
4
1 GPS position / selected location – The blue square
indicates your current GPS position or a selected
position on the map. The map not only shows streets
and squares, but also points of interest such as
restaurants, cultural attractions, car parks, and so on.
You can define the depth of detail of the map by
choosing which types of locations are displayed.
One-way streets are marked with a red arrow pointing
in the direction in which the street can be driven.
2 Data transfer indicator and data counter – The data
transfer indicator shows any data transfer activity on
your device. The indicator blinks when data is being
transferred. The data counter displays the amount of
data transferred in the current session.
3 Scale bar – The scale bar shows the scale depending
on the actual zoom level. Through the scale bar, you
may estimate the distance between two points on the
map. The system of measurement used is displayed in
the middle of the scale bar (metric or imperial). You
can change the system of measurement in the Settings.
4 GPS signal indicator – The GPS indicator shows the
availability of the GPS signal, as well as its strength.
The strength is indicated by traffic lights next to the
satellite symbol. The more lights there are visible, the
stronger the signal.
When the device is searching for a GPS position, the
lights are blinking yellow.
When a GPS signal is detected, the lights appear
green. When no GPS signal is detected, the lights
appear red.
The map is oriented towards north by default. However,
during navigation, the orientation may change, for
example to improve the visibility of turns. Therefore, a
compass rose appears on the map during navigation,
displaying the orientation of the map.
One-way streets are marked with blue arrows pointing in
the driving direction.
Note the difference between "GPS position" (your actual
geographic position) and "selected" location/position,
which is any other than the GPS position. You may return
to the "GPS position" at any time by selecting GPS pos..
