Maps
Depending on your location, you can view basic, custom, and
satellite maps and local business information, including
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 at least
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.

this also requires a clear view of the sky and uses more
battery power.
To receive better GPS signals, avoid using your device in the
following conditions:

–
in a tunnel or underground passage
–
in poor weather

around high-voltage or electromagnetic fields
