Additional Ideas for Finding Places and Getting Directions with Maps

Before you go to a location that you’ve never been to, locate it on the Maps app, and then look at its picture so you can see the surrounding area. If you’re looking for something to eat, just type in the food you want in the Maps search field, such as pizza, Thai food, or seafood. When you see all the nearby restaurants, just tap on a name, get directions (driving, mass transit, or walking), and find a new restaurant where you can enjoy your meal.

The Maps app acts like an interactive guide to help you find your location and find nearby businesses. If you travel often, take your iPad, and you may never be lost again (unless you lose your iPad).
