Maps

You can browse maps for different cities and countries, search for addresses and points of interest, plan routes from one location to another, save locations as landmarks, and send them to compatible devices.
Almost all digital cartography is inaccurate and incomplete to some extent. Never rely solely on the cartography that you download for use in this device.
To use the Maps application, select Menu > Maps and the desired item.

Download maps

Your phone may contain pre-installed maps on the memory card. You can download a new set of maps from the internet using Nokia Map Loader PC software.

Nokia Map Loader

To download the Nokia Map Loader on your PC and for further instructions, see www.maps.nokia.com.
Before you download new maps for the first time, make sure that you have a memory card inserted in the phone, and select Menu > Maps to do an initial configuration.
To change the selection of maps on your memory card, and to ensure that all maps are from the same release, use the Nokia Map Loader to delete all maps on the memory card and download a new selection.

Network service

You can set your phone to automatically connect to Nokia Maps server for assisted address search or route planning, and download maps that you do not have in your phone when needed. Select Menu > Maps > Settings > Network settings > Allow network usage.
To prevent automatic download of maps, select No.
Note: Downloading maps may involve the transmission of large amounts of data through your service provider’s network. Contact your service provider for information about data transmission charges.

Maps and GPS

You can use the global positioning system (GPS) with the Maps application to find out your location, or measure distances and coordinates.
Before you can use the GPS function with your phone, you must pair your phone with a compatible external GPS receiver using Bluetooth wireless technology. For more information, see the user guide for your GPS device.
After pairing the Bluetooth GPS device with the phone, it may take several minutes for the phone to display your current location. Subsequent connections should be faster, unless the GPS has not been used for several days, or you are very far away from the last place you used it, it may take several minutes to detect and display your location.
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 Radio navigation 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. The GPS receiver should only be used outdoors to allow reception of GPS signals.
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.

Extra services

Maps also supports navigation with voice guidance, which requires a regional licence. To use this service, you need a compatible external GPS device that supports Bluetooth wireless technology.
To purchase a navigation service with voice guidance, select Menu > Maps > Extra services > Purchase navigation or Check map updates, and follow the instructions.
To use navigation with voice guidance, you must allow the Maps application to use a network connection.
The navigation licence is connected to your SIM card. If you insert another SIM card in your phone, you are asked to purchase a licence when starting navigation.
During the purchase procedure, you are offered to transfer the existing navigation licence to the new SIM card without extra charge.
