Download maps

When you browse a map on the display in Maps, a

new map is automatically downloaded if you scroll

to an area which is not covered by maps already

downloaded. You can view the amount of

transferred data from the data counter (kB) shown

on the display. The counter shows the amount of

network traffic when you browse maps, create

routes, or search for locations online. Downloading

maps data may involve the transmission of large

amounts of data through your service provider’s

network. Contact your service provider for

information about data transmission charges.
To prevent the device from automatically

downloading maps through the internet, for

example, when you are outside your home cellular

network, or other map related data required by the

extra services, select
