Enabling a Location source

Before you use Google Maps and find your location or search for
places of interest, you must enable a location source. To enable the
location source you must enable the wireless network, or enable the
GPS satellites.

Important! The more location determining functions are enabled, the

more accurate the determination will be of your position.

1. From the Home screen, press

and then tap Settings

Location services.

2. Tap Use wireless networks to allow apps to use data from

sources such as Wi-Fi and mobile networks to provide a better

approximation of your current location.

3. Tap Use GPS satellites to enable the GPS satellite.

4. Tap Location and Google search to allow Google to use your

location data to improve your search results and other

services.

Tip: Enabling this feature allows you to locate places of interest at the

street-level. However, this also requires a clear view of the sky
and uses more battery power.
