Chapter 10. Use Maps

Whether you're looking for a local address or planning a trip across the country, the iPad's Maps app makes it easy. You can find nearly any location on Earth; view maps with or without satellite images or terrain; get driving, walking, or public transit directions; show current traffic conditions; pinpoint your current location; and even (thanks to the built-in compass) orient the map automatically based on the direction you're facing. And, if you have a 3G iPad model, you can get more-precise location information thanks to its built-in GPS receiver.
