Maps and location

Using Google Maps

Google Maps lets you track your current location, view real-time traffic

situations, and receive detailed directions to your destination. It also

provides a search tool where you can locate places of interest or an

address on a vector or aerial map, or view locations in street level.

You need an active mobile data or Wi-Fi connection to use Google

Maps.
The Google Maps application does not cover every country or city.

Viewing locations

Turning on location services

Before you open Google Maps and find your location or search for

places of interest, you must enable location sources.

Press HOME > MENU and then tap

Settings > Location.

Select

Use wireless networks, Use GPS satellites, or both.

Selecting

Use GPS satellites lets you locate places of interest at street

level. However, this requires a clear view of the sky and more battery

power.
