Additional Ideas for Viewing Maps

Maps are always handy whenever you're lost in an unfamiliar neighborhood. Instead of pulling into a gas station to buy a map or asking a stranger for directions, you can use Maps to help you navigate to your current location so you'll know where you're at and where you want to go.

Maps can also be a fun way to study geography. From the Maps screen, type the name of a major city in the search text box at the top of the screen, and then tap Search at the bottom of the screen. If you slide your finger to move the map view left, right, up, or down, you can view different areas. This can be a fun way to keep bored children amused and get them interested in studying maps and learning about other parts of the world.
