Use maps and find locations



To access the maps, select the Maps shortcut from the home screen. You can also access the maps by selecting Menu > Applications > Location > Maps.


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 that is not covered by maps already downloaded to your device, a map for the area is automatically downloaded through the Internet.


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.

Find locations

Sometimes you need to know where you are; sometimes you need to find the way. Learn how to use your maps for basic location finding.

Your position:

If the GPS is active, it locates your position directly you open the Maps application. To view your current or last known location:

  1. Select Options > My position

To zoom in and out on the map, press the left and right shift keys, or the shift key and the backspace key, depending on the keyboard of your device. The map is oriented towards north by default.
