Locations

Search for places of interest, get directions to places you want to go to, and drive
using turn-by-turn GPS navigation with Locations. Locations is also your perfect
travel companion, whether you’re at home or when you’re in a different country. With
Locations, you can download maps to your phone beforehand so you don’t have to
worry about having an Internet connection while on the road or costly data roaming
charges when abroad. Have your map ready before you start your journey.

If you are in an area where there are a lot of surrounding buildings, Locations may have a hard
time pinpointing your location.

Your phone comes with a map installed. The map on your phone will depend on the
country where you bought your phone. Don’t worry, you can download other maps
when you need them. Refer to “Downloading maps or purchasing services” in this
chapter to find out how.
