Google Maps™ and navigation

Use Google Maps™ to track your current location, view real-time traffic situations, and

receive detailed directions to your destination.
When you view a map, you use data traffic to get an Internet connection, and data is

transferred to your device. So it's a good idea to save a map and make it available offline

before you take a trip. This way, you can avoid high roaming costs.

The Google Maps™ application requires the use of an Internet connection when used online.

You may incur data connection charges when you connect to the Internet from your device.

Contact your network operator for more information. The Google Maps™ application may not

be available in every market, country, or region.
