Maps
Google Maps allow you to track your current location, view
real-time traffic issues, and view detailed destination directions.
There is also a search tool included to help you locate places of
interest or a specific address. You can view locations on a vector
or aerial map, or you can view locations at the street level.
Important!:
Before using Google Maps you must have an active data
connection.
Note:
The Maps application does not cover every country or city.

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.
