8.1 Getting to Know Maps
Maps lets you track your current location, view real-time traffic situations, and
receive detailed directions to your destination. It also provides a search tool where
you can locate places of interest or an address on a vector or aerial map, or view
locations in street level.
Notes • You need an active data (3G/GPRS) or Wi-Fi connection to use Maps.
• The Maps application does not cover every country or city.

GPS satellites, or both.
