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 an active data (3G) 

connection. The Maps application does not cover every country 
or city.

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.
