With Maps, you can see your current location on the
map, browse maps of diffe rent cities and countries,
search for places, plan ro utes from one location to
another, save locations, and send them to compatible
devices. You can also purchase licenses for traffic
information and navigation services, if available for
your country or region.
When you use Maps for the first time, you may need to
select an internet access  point for downloading maps.
When you have an active  GPS connection and browse
the map in the display, a  new map is automatically
downloaded if you scroll to an area not covered by the
maps that have already been downloaded. You can also
use the Nokia Map Loader PC software to download
maps. To install Nokia Map Lo ader to a compatible PC,
visit www.nokia.com/maps (in English).
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, if available in your device.
Note:   Downloading content such as maps,
satellite images, voice files, guides or traffic
information may involve transmission of large
amounts of data (network service).
Almost all digital cartog raphy is inaccurate and
incomplete to some extent. Never rely solely on the
cartography that you download for use in this device.
Network positioningYou can use the mobile network to find your current
location. This is faster but less accurate than with GPS,
and you cannot use the location as a starting point for
navigation.
Select  Menu > Maps .
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.

device tries to find satellite signals, the bar is yellow.
When the device receives enough data from the
satellites for GPS to calculate your location, the bar
turns green. The more green  bars, the more reliable
the location calculation.
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.
The data transfer indicator 
 shows the
internet connection used, and the amount of data
transferred since the application started.
