location, view real-time traffic issues, and view
detailed destination directions. There is also a
search tool included to help you locate places of
interest or a specific address. You can view
locations on a vector or aerial map, or you can view
locations at the street level.
Important!

an active data (3G) or Wi-Fi connection.
