Positioning your location with three satellites. However, the accuracy is generally better when more satellites are found. Position requests You may receive a request from a network service to receive your position information. Service providers may offer information about local topics, such as weather or traffic conditions, based upon the location of your device. When you receive a position request, a message is displayed showing the service that is making the request. Select Accept to allow your position information to be sent or Reject to deny the request. Maps Press , and select Maps. With Maps, you can see your current location on the map, browse maps for different cities and countries, search for addresses and different points of interest, plan routes from one location to another, view traffic details, and save locations as landmarks and send them to compatible devices. You can also purchase extra services, such as guides, a turn-by-turn Drive & Walk navigation service with voice guidance, and a traffic information service. Maps uses GPS. You can define the positioning methods used with your device in the device settings. See 'Positioning', p. 125. For the most accurate location information, use either the internal GPS or the external GPS receiver. When you use Maps for the first time, you may need to define an internet access point for downloading map information for your current location. To change the default access point later, select Options > Tools > Settings > Internet > Default access point (shown only when you are online). When you browse a map in Maps, the map data for the area is automatically downloaded to your device through the internet. A new map is downloaded only if you scroll to an area which is not covered by maps already downloaded. Almost all digital cartography is inaccurate and incomplete to some extent. Never rely solely on the cartography that you download for use in this device. Downloading maps may involve the transmission of large amounts of data through your service provider's network. Contact your service provider for information about data transmission charges. Tip! You can also download maps by using a WLAN connection, or through the internet using Nokia MapLoader.
