Maps Use Google Maps to find your current location, get directions, and other location-based information. 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 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 a Home screen, touch Applications ➔ Settings ➔ Location and security. 2. Touch the Use GPS satellites field. A green check mark displays next to the field. 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. For more information, refer to "GPS Applications" on page 153. Navigating the Map Zooming • Double-tap on the screen to zoom in. • Use two fingers, such as your index finger and thumb, to zoom out by making an inward pinch motion on the screen. To zoom in, make an outward motion by sweeping your fingers out. Tip: For convenient browsing, you can rotate the device to landscape mode. Scrolling • Touch and drag on the screen to reposition the map in the display. Touch • Touch an icon on the map to display information about the location. For example, your location is indicated by a flashing and a pop-up that says My Location. 167
