Tip: Enabling this feature allows you to locate places of
interest at the street-level. However, this also requires a
clear view of the sky and uses more battery power.
Opening Maps
1. From the Home screen, tap (Apps) ➔
(Maps).
2. Tap the upper-right My location button to find your
location on the map with a blinking blue dot.
3. Locate the bottom row of the buttons to access
additional options:
• Search: allows you to search for a place of interest.
• Directions: displays navigation directions to a location from a
starting point.
• Local: provides access to the places menu where you can
quickly locate a business or person, find out more information
about a business, see coupons, public responses, and more
(page 185). Locate and tap one of the listed places
(Restaurants, Cafes, Bars, Attractions, or select from available
categories such as Entertainment, ATMs, Gas stations, Hotels,
Post office, or Taxi.)
• Layers: allows you to switch map views:
– Traffic: (available only in selected areas) Real-time traffic
conditions are displayed over roads as color-coded lines. Each
color represents how fast the traffic is moving.
– Satellite: Maps uses the same satellite data as Google Earth.
Satellite images are not real-time. Google Earth acquires the
best imagery available, most of which is approximately one to
three years old.

with the current map location.

map.

map.
