Travel and maps Using location services Location services allow applications such as Maps and the camera to use information from your mobile or Wi-Fi network as well as Global Positioning System (GPS) information to determine your approximate location. If you're not within a clear line of sight to GPS satellites, your device can determine your location using the Wi-Fi function. And if you're not within range of a network, your device can determine your location using your mobile network. In order to use your device to find out where you are, you need to enable location services. You may incur data connection charges when you connect to the internet from your device. To enable or disable location services 1 From your Home screen, tap . 2 Find and tap Settings > Location, then tap the slider to enable or disable location services. Improving GPS accuracy The first time you use the GPS function in your device, it can take a few minutes for your location to be found. To help the search, make sure you have a clear view of the sky. Stand still and don't cover the GPS antenna (the highlighted area in the image). GPS signals can pass through clouds and plastic, but not through most solid objects such as buildings and mountains. If your location isn't found after a few minutes, move to another location. Google Maps™ and navigation Use Google Maps™ to track your current location, view real-time traffic situations and receive detailed directions to your destination. The Google Maps™ application requires an internet connection when used online. You may incur data connection charges when you connect to the internet from your device. To get more detailed information about how to use this application, go to http://support.google.com and click the "Maps for mobile" link. The Google Maps™ application may not be available in every market, country or region. To use Google Maps™ 1 From your Home screen, tap . 2 Find and tap Google > Maps. Using data traffic when travelling When you travel outside of your home mobile network, you may need to access the internet using mobile data traffic. If so, you need to activate data roaming on your device. You may incur additional charges when you activate data roaming. It is recommended to check the relevant data transmission charges in advance. If you are using a device with multiple users, you may need to log in as the owner, that is, the primary user, to activate or deactivate data roaming. 124 This is an internet version of this publication. © Print only for private use.
