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. 1. Press HOME > MENU and then tap Settings > Location. 2. 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.
