Nokia n97 : Maps - Network positioning - GPS replaces mobile network

Maps

Select Menu > 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.

When you use Maps for the first time, you may need to

select an internet 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, see www.nokia.com/

maps.

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 on a memory card.

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.

Downloading maps and extra services 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.

Network positioning

Select Menu > Maps.

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.
