Use the Nokia Ovi Suite application to download the latest maps and voice guidance files to your compatible computer. To download and install Nokia Ovi Suite on your compatible computer, go to www.ovi.com. Tip: Save new maps to your device before a journey, so you can browse the maps without an internet connection when travelling abroad. To make sure your device does not use an internet connection, in the main menu, select Options > Settings > Internet > Connection > Offline.Use the compassIf your device has a compass, when activated, both the arrow of the compass and the map rotate automatically in the direction to which the top of your device is pointing. Select Menu > Maps and My position. Activate the compass — Press 5. Deactivate the compass — Press 5 again. The map is oriented north. The compass is active when there is a green outline. If the compass needs calibration, the outline of the compass is red or yellow. Calibrate the compass — Rotate the device around all axes in a continuous movement until the outline of the compass turns green. The compass has limited accuracy. Electromagnetic fields, metal objects, or other external circumstances may also affect the accuracy of the compass. The compass should always be properly calibrated.About positioning methodsMaps displays your location on the map using GPS, A-GPS, WLAN, or cell ID based positioning. The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a satellite-based navigation system used for calculating your location. Assisted GPS (A-GPS) is a network service that sends you 73Maps
GPS data, improving the speed and accuracy of the positioning. Wireless local area network (WLAN) positioning improves position accuracy when GPS signals are not available, especially when you are indoors or between tall buildings. With cell ID based positioning, the position is determined through the antenna tower your mobile device is currently connected to. Depending on the available positioning method, the accuracy of positioning may vary from a few metres to several kilometres. When you use Maps for the first time, you are prompted to define the internet access point to use to download map information, use A-GPS, or connect to a WLAN. 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 conditions. GPS signals may not be available inside buildings or underground and may be impaired by materials such as concrete and metal. 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. Note: Using WLAN may be restricted in some countries. For example, in France, you are only allowed to use WLAN indoors. For more information, contact your local authorities.
