Here is important background information before you get started. conditions. The GPS receiver should only be used outdoors to allow reception of GPS signals. System requirements To use Maps, you need the following: Mobile device with S60 3.1 or 3.2 edition. Minimum of 5 MB free space either in the device memory or compatible memory card. Any GPS should not be used for precise location measurement, and you should never rely solely on location data from the GPS receiver and cellular radio networks for positioning or navigation. The trip meter has limited accuracy, and rounding errors may occur. Accuracy can also be affected by availability and quality of GPS signals. About GPS The Global Positioning System (GPS) is operated by the government of the United States, which is solely responsible for its accuracy and maintenance. The accuracy of location data can be affected by adjustments to GPS satellites made by the United States government and is subject to change with the United States Department of Defense civil GPS policy and the Federal Radionavigation Plan. Accuracy can also be affected by poor satellite geometry. Availability and quality of GPS signals may be affected by your location, buildings, natural obstacles, and weather 4 Assisted GPS (A-GPS) is used to retrieve assistance data over a packet data connection, which assists in calculating the coordinates of your current location when your device is receiving signals from satellites. GPS receiver If your device has an internal GPS receiver, you can use it with Maps. Using the internal GPS receiver may drain the device battery faster. Use Maps with a compatible external GPS receiver 1. Fully charge your GPS receiver, and switch it on. © 2008 Nokia. All rights reserved. 2. Set up a Bluetooth connection between your device and the GPS receiver. 3. Place the GPS receiver in a position with an unobstructed view to the sky. It may take several minutes to establish the first GPS connection. Subsequent connections are faster, but, if you have not used GPS for several days, or you are very far from the last location you used it, it may take a while to find a strong satellite signal. 4. Open the Maps application, and select the external GPS receiver. Use the mobile network for positioning If your mobile device supports assisted GPS (A-GPS), you can use the mobile network to find your current location even indoors. This is faster but less accurate than with GPS, and you cannot use the location as a starting point for navigation. To use the mobile network for positioning, select the network-based positioning method from the device settings. When you start the Maps application and your GPS connection is ready, GPS replaces mobile network as the positioning method. For information about the mobile network data transmission charges, contact your service provider. © 2008 Nokia. All rights reserved. 5 Get started About 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, and save locations and send them to compatible devices. You can also purchase licences for extra services, such as travel guides, traffic information, and navigation service with voice guidance. These services are not available for all countries or regions. Downloading maps and extra services, such as travel guides and voice guidance files, may involve the transmission of large amounts of data through your service provider's network. For more information on data transmission charges, contact your service provider. To connect to the internet automatically when you start Maps, select Options > Tools > Settings > Internet > Go online at start-up > Always on. When you use Maps for the first time, you may need to select a cellular or a WLAN access point for downloading maps. If you browse to an area which is not covered by maps already downloaded in your device, a map for the area is automatically downloaded through the internet. Some maps may be available in your device or memory card. You can also use the Nokia Map Loader PC software to download maps. To install Nokia Map Loader to a compatible PC, go to www.nokia.com/ maps. To be informed when your device registers to a network other than your home network, select Options > Tools > Settings > Internet > Roaming warning > On (shown only when you are online). For details and roaming costs, contact your service provider. To set the device to ask your permission before connecting to the internet, select Options > Tools > Settings > Internet > Go online at start-up > Always ask. To prevent automatic downloading of maps, select Options > Tools > Settings > Internet > Go online at start-up > Never. 6 © 2008 Nokia. All rights reserved. Tip: To avoid data transfer costs, you can also use Maps without an internet connection, and browse the maps that are saved in your device or memory card. Map elements 1 -- Direction (big arrow) 2 -- Route (dark grey) 4 -- Compass 1 -- Main street (yellow) 3 -- Selected location 4 -- Search field 5 -- Indicator area Browse maps Navigate 3 -- Your location (arrow if driving, dot if walking) 5 -- Information bar (speed, distance, time) 2 -- Secondary street (grey) 6 -- Point of interest (for example, a railway station or a museum) © 2008 Nokia.

When you open Maps, the capital of the country you are in or the location that was saved from your last session is shown. The map of the location is also downloaded, if needed. Move and zoom To move on the map, drag the map. The map is oriented towards north by default. Move on a map Your location To zoom in to your GPS position or your last known location, select Options > My position. shows your When the GPS connection is active, current location on the map. When you have an active connection and browse the map on the display, a new map is automatically downloaded if you scroll to an area which is not covered by maps already downloaded. The maps are automatically saved in the device memory or on a compatible memory card (if inserted). To zoom in and out on the map, select + and -. Tip: To avoid data transfer costs, use Nokia Map Loader to download maps. See "Nokia Map Loader", p. 20. 8 © 2008 Nokia. All rights reserved. Adjust the map view System of measurement You can adjust the map view in several ways to suit your location or usage. Here are only a few examples. See "Settings", p. 18. To define the measurement system used in the maps, select Options > Tools > Settings > Map > System of measurement > Metric or Imperial. To define what kinds of points of interest are shown on the map, select Options > Tools > Settings > Map > Categories and the desired categories. To adjust the map for car navigation during daytime or night-time, select Options > Tools > Settings > Map > Colours > Day mode or Night mode. Points of interest To change the map type, select Options > Map view > Map, 3D, Satellite, or Hybrid. The satellite and hybrid maps are available for browsing maps and pedestrian navigation, and they cannot be downloaded with Nokia Map Loader. Satellite data is not available for all regions. Change map type Day or night view Display indicators The GPS indicator on the bottom right corner of the display shows the availability and strength of the satellite signal. One bar is one satellite. When the device tries to find a satellite, the bar is yellow. When the device receives enough data from the satellite to establish a GPS connection, the bar turns green. The more green bars, the stronger the GPS connection. Initially, your device must receive signals from at least four satellites to calculate the coordinates of your location. After the initial calculation, signals from three satellites may be enough. 9 © 2008 Nokia. All rights reserved. The data transfer indicator shows the internet connection used and the amount of data transferred since the application started. 10 © 2008 Nokia. All rights reserved. Find places Need directions? Looking for a restaurant? Maps helps you get there. Find locations To find a location in the city or area displayed on the map, enter the full or partial address of the location in the search field. Tap the green arrow, and select Search. To find a location in another city, enter the city and the full or partial address, such as London Oxford Street. For the best results, enter the name of the city in the local language. If you search for locations without an internet connection, the search results are limited to a radius of 50 km (31 miles), and the search may be slower.
