Use Maps



Find out how to use the the maps in your Nokia X6 device, and manage your location information in Ovi services. Learn how to save your favourite places to Landmarks.


With Maps, you can see your current location on the map, browse maps of different cities and countries, search for places, plan routes from one location to another, save locations, and send them to compatible devices. You can also purchase licences 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.


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. You can also use the Nokia Map Loader PC software to download maps. To install Nokia Map Loader to a compatible PC, visit www.nokia.com.bd/maps.


Tip!
To avoid data transfer costs, you can also use Maps without an internet connection, and browse the maps that are saved.


Note!
Downloading content such as maps, satellite images, voice files, guides or traffic information may involve the transmission of large amounts of data (network service).

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.


Download more maps for your device

If you need a map for an area which you don’t already have in your X6 device, you can download more maps to suit your needs.

The Nokia Map Loader PC software is an easy way to download more maps to your device. Install the Nokia Map Loader on a compatible PC. You’ll find the software and instructions at www.nokia.com.bd/maps.
