Maps and GPS Navigation
Your tablet has a preinstalled Maps app that allows you to nd out your current
location on the map (for greater precision, activate the system’s GPS option), view
satellite images or even an actual view of a given location. You can also select the
Navigation option to allow your device to give you instructions on how to reach your
destination from your current position, whether travelling on foot or by car. The app
can also help you locate a wide variety of companies and establishments that have
signed up to the location service.
Bear in mind that none of the above information (including the maps) is preloaded
onto your device; therefore, whenever you use the navigation feature, the tablet
will need to access your data connection, which could have cost implications
depending on your network operator’s mobile price plan and tariffs.
Important: As your Edison 3 mini does not have a 3G connection, you must use
it in conjunction with an external wireless connection such as a smartphone or
USB router (these are not supplied with the tablet).
File Explorer
This app allows you to explore the folders stored in your tablet’s internal memory
and on the MicroSD card, if in use. It also allows you to copy and move les from
one folder to another, unzip compressed les and extract their contents, without the
need to connect your tablet to a computer. Additionally, you can rename les and
create new les and folders.
You can hide certain multimedia folders so that they are not shown in the
Gallery. To do so, open the File explorer, go to the folder you want to hide and,
from within the le path, press the New icon , select the File option, name the
new le “.nomedia” and press OK to nish. You can access the hidden le and its
contents via the File explorer app whenever you like. If you want to reverse the
process and show the folder in the Gallery, simply delete the “.nomedia” le you
created previously.
