Introduction

Welcome to Maps. Here is important background information before you get started.

System requirements

To use Maps, you need the following:

● Mobile device with S60 3.1 or 3.2 edition.

● Minimum of 5 MB free space either in the device

memory or compatible memory card.

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. The GPS receiver should only be used outdoors to allow reception of GPS signals.

Any 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 the coordinates of your current location when your device is receiving signals from satellites.

GPS receiver

If your device has an internal GPS receiver, you can use it with Maps. Using the internal GPS receiver may drain the device battery faster.

Use Maps with a compatible external GPS receiver

1. Fully charge your GPS receiver, and switch it on.

2. Set up a Bluetooth connection between your device

and the GPS receiver.

3. Place the GPS receiver in a position with an

unobstructed view to the sky.

4. Open the Maps application, and select the external

GPS receiver.

It may take several minutes to establish the first GPS connection. Subsequent connections are faster, but, if you have not used GPS for several days, or you are very far from the last location you used it, it may take a while to find a strong satellite signal.

Use the mobile network for positioning

If your mobile device supports assisted GPS (A-GPS), you can use the mobile network to find your current location even indoors. This is faster but less accurate than with GPS, and you cannot use the location as a starting point for navigation.

To use the mobile network for positioning, start the Maps application, and select Network based as the positioning method. When your GPS connection is ready, it replaces mobile network as the positioning method. For information about the mobile network data transmission charges, contact your service provider.

Get started

About Maps

With Maps, you can see your current location on the map, browse maps for different cities and countries, search for addresses and different points of interest, plan routes from one location to another, and save locations and send them to compatible devices. You can also purchase licences for extra services, such as travel guides, traffic information, and navigation service with voice guidance. These services are not available for all countries or regions.

When you use Maps for the first time, you may need to select a cellular or a WLAN access point for downloading maps.

If you browse to an area which is not covered by maps already downloaded in your device, a map for the area is automatically downloaded through the internet. Some maps may be available in your device or memory card. You can also use the Nokia Map Loader PC software to download maps. To install Nokia Map Loader to a compatible PC, go to http:// maps.nokia.com.

Downloading maps and extra services, such as travel guides and voice guidance files, may involve the transmission of large amounts of data through your service provider's network. For more information on data transmission charges, contact your service provider.

To connect to the internet automatically when you start Maps, select Options > Tools > Settings >

Internet > Go online at start-up > Always on.

To prevent automatic downloading of maps, select

Options > Tools > Settings > Internet > Go online at start-up > Never.

To set the device to ask your permission before connecting to the internet, select Options > Tools >

Settings > Internet > Go online at start-up > Always ask.

To be informed when your device registers to a network other than your home network, select

Options > Tools > Settings > Internet > Roaming warning > On (shown only when you are

online). For details and roaming costs, contact your service provider.

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.
