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 at least an active data (3G) 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 the Apps screen, touch Settings ➔ More ➔ Location services. 2. Touch the Access to my location ON/OFF slider to activate. 3. Touch the Use GPS satellites field, if necessary. A green check mark will display next to the field. 116 Note: Selecting Use GPS satellites 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 Using Maps 1. From the Apps screen, touch Maps. A map displays with your location marked near the center. 2. Follow the on-screen instructions to use the Maps application.
