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 Home screen, tap ➔ Settings ➔ Location services. 2. Tap the Use GPS satellites field. A green checkmark will display next to the field. Note: Selecting Use GPS satellites allows you to locate places of interest at the street-level.
