another item.

Pan the map. Swipe with three fingers.
Browse visible points of interest. Set the rotor to Points of Interest, then swipe up or down with

Follow a road. Hold your finger down on the road, wait until you hear “pause to follow,” then
move your finger along the road while listening to the guide tone. The pitch increases when you
stray from the road.

Get information about a location. With a pin selected, double-tap to display the information
flag. Swipe left or right to select the More Info button, then double-tap to display the
information page.
Hear location cues as you move about. Turn on Tracking With Heading in Maps to hear street
names and points of interest as you approach them.
Edit videos and voice memos with VoiceOver
You can use VoiceOver gestures to trim Camera videos and Voice Memo recordings.
Trim a video. While viewing a video in Photos, double-tap the screen to display the video
controls, then select the beginning or end of the trim tool. Then swipe up to drag to the right, or
swipe down to drag to the left. VoiceOver announces the amount of time the current position
will trim from the recording. To complete the trim, select Trim, then double-tap.
Trim a voice memo. Select the memo in Voice Memos, tap Edit, then tap Start Trimming. Select
the beginning or end of the selection, double-tap and hold, then drag to adjust. VoiceOver
announces the amount of time the current position will trim from the recording. Tap Play to
preview the trimmed recording. When you’ve got it the way you want it, tap Trim.
Zoom
Many apps let you zoom in or out on specific items. For example, you can double-tap or pinch to
look closer in Photos or expand webpage columns in Safari. There’s also a general Zoom feature
that lets you magnify the screen no matter what you’re doing. You can zoom the entire screen
(Full Screen Zoom) or zoom part of the screen in a resizable window and leave the rest of the
screen unmagnified (Window Zoom). And, you can use Zoom together with VoiceOver.
