Maps
Depending on your location, you can view basic, custom, and
satellite maps and local business information, including
locations, contact information, and driving directions. You
can also post public messages about a location and track
your friends.
Important! Before using Google Maps you must have an
active data connection. The Maps application
does not cover every country or city.
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.
1. From a Home screen, touch Apps ➔ Settings
➔ Location services.
2. Touch the GPS & Verizon location services field.
A green check mark will display next to the field.
Note: Selecting GPS & Verizon location services 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.
To receive better GPS signals, avoid using your device in the
following conditions:
– inside a building or between buildings
– in a tunnel or underground passage
– in poor weather
– around high-voltage or electromagnetic fields
– in a vehicle with tinted windows
