Maps, Navigation, Places,
and Latitude
You use Maps to find your current location; to view real-time traffic conditions, to
get detailed directions by foot, public transportation, bicycle, or car; and to
navigate by using spoken, turn-by-turn driving instructions through Google Maps
Navigation (Beta).
You can find street addresses, landmarks, and places of business, and locate these
points-of-interest directly on a street map or satellite image. In some areas, you
can view street-level imagery of businesses and neighborhoods. With Google
Latitude, you can view your friends’ locations on your maps and share your location
and other information with them.
The Maps app also contains three features that allow for quick access to Google
Places, Navigation (Beta), and Latitude; these appear as app icons in the
Launcher.
Maps does not have information about every location.
