Find a location and see a map:

Tap the search field to bring up the keyboard.

2

Type an address or other search information.

3

Tap Search.

A pin marks the location.

Tap       to get 
information about 
the location, get 
directions, add the 
location to your 
bookmarks or 
contacts list, or 
email a link to 
Google Maps.

A location can include places of interest added by Google My Maps users (“User-
created content”), and sponsored links that appear as special icons (for example, ).

Zoom in

Pinch the map with two fingers. Or double-tap
the part you want to zoom in on. Double-tap
again to zoom in even closer.

Zoom out

map with two fingers. Tap with two fingers again
to zoom out further.

Pan or scroll

Drag up, down, left, or right to view a different
part of the map.

See the location of an entry in your Contacts list: Tap at the top of the screen and
choose a contact.
The contact must include at least one address. If the contact has more than one
