locations, contact information, and driving directions. You can
also post public messages about a location and track your
friends.
Important!: Before using Google Maps you must have an active data (3G)
connection. The Maps application does not cover every country
or city.
Enabling a Location Source
Before you use Google Maps and find your location or search for
places of interest, you must enable a location source. To enable
the location source you must enable the wireless network, or
enable the GPS satellites.
1. From the Home screen, tap ➔ Settings ➔
Location and security .
2. Tap the Use GPS satellites field. A green checkmark will
display next to the field.
Note: Selecting Use GPS satellites allows you to locate places of interest at
the street-level. However, this also requires a clear view of the sky and
uses more battery power.
