Google Maps
™
You can use Google Maps to find your current location; to view real-time traffic conditions; to get
detailed directions by foot, public transportation, bicycle, or car; and to navigate by using spoken,
turn-by-turn driving instructions using the Google Maps Navigation (beta) service. You can
search on a street map or a satellite image to locate an address or a landmark, and you can
view some locations as if you were strolling down the street. If you join Google Latitude, you can
view
your friends‘ locations on your maps and share your location and other information with
them. There are some locations that Maps does not have information about.

arrow indicates that your actual location is with in the circle.

Street View (if available) opens over the location.
► Tap the balloon to access additional options.
