About Maps

Maps provides classic, satellite, hybrid, and terrain views of locations in many countries.
Search for a location, then get detailed driving, public transit, or walking directions, as
well as traffic information.

WARNING:

For important information about driving and navigating safely, see the

Important Product Information Guide at support.apple.com/manuals/ipad.

To use Maps, iPad must have an Internet connection. See “Connecting to the
Internet
” on page 28.

Important:

Maps, directions, and location-based apps provided by Apple depend on

data services provided by third parties. These data services are subject to change and
may not be available in all geographic areas, resulting in maps, directions, or location-
based information that may be unavailable, inaccurate, or incomplete. Compare the
information provided on iPad to your surroundings, and defer to posted signs to
resolve any discrepancies. To provide your location, data is collected which doesn’t
identify you personally. If you don’t want this data collected, don’t use the feature. Not
using this feature doesn’t affect the non–location-based functionality of your iPad.

If location services is turned off when you open Maps, you may be asked to turn it
on. You can use Maps without turning on location services. See “Location Services” on
page 145.

Finding and Viewing Locations

You can search for locations, find your current location, drop a pin to mark a location,
and get different map views, including Google Street Views.
