See where you are on a map

If you need to get your bearings, check where you are on a map. You can also explore different cities and countries.

  1. On the start screen, swipe left, and tap Maps iconNokia Maps.

    current position icon shows where you are. If Nokia Maps can't find your location, last known position icon shows your last known location.

    If accurate positioning is not possible, a green halo around the location icon shows the general area you might be in. In densely populated areas, the accuracy of the estimate is better, and the green halo is not as wide.

  2. To see your current or last known location, tap my position icon.

    Map coverage varies by country and region.
