Maps and location 

Viewing map layers

Initially, Google Maps opens with a street map. You can view additional

map layers, such as satellite images, traffic information, your Google

Latitude friends’ locations, and Wikipedia information on locations.

You can also view maps that you and other people have created in

Google Maps on the web.

Multiple layers can be viewed at the same time.
Not all locations have information to support all Map layers or all

zoom levels. To learn more about layers, visit Google Maps on the

web: http://maps.google.com/


While viewing a map, press MENU, and then tap

Layers.

Select any of the following.

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. Google 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.
