I was confused with what button shortcuts to press on the Nokia E71 to center in my location and zooming. On phones with numeric keypads like the Nokia N95 8GB or the Nokia N82, 0 is for centering, while * (asterisk) and # (pound sign) are for zooming. The Nokia E71 manual also says the same thing. However, there are quicker ways to get the same results and these should have been mentioned on the booklet instead.

Nokia Maps Shortcuts

• Spacebar = Center to your position
• Shift = Zoom in
• Delete = Zoom out

As an extra tip, pressing Function + 1 lets you quickly change map modes (Map, 3d, satellite, hybrid). I’m not sure if these shortcuts work for another QWERTY phone, the Nokia E90. If you have one, please try and let us know.
