Maps
Google Maps allow you to track your current
location, view real-time traffic issues, and view
detailed destination directions. There is also a
search tool included to help you locate places of
interest or a specific address. You can view
locations on a vector or aerial map, or you can
view locations at the street level.
Important! Before using Google Maps you must
have an active data (3G/4G) or Wi-Fi
connection. The Maps application does
not cover every country or city.
Ⅲ From the Home screen, tap
(Applications) ➔ (Maps).
Important! For best results, it is recommended
that you enable all of your location
services. For more information, refer to
“Location and Security” on page 197.
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.

(Settings) ➔ Location and security.
2. Tap Use wireless networks to enable GPS to

power.
