Find Your Way with Maps

Abstract

Mapping on your iPod touch is very convenient and pretty amazing. As we explore the power of the Maps app in this chapter, you’ll see how to find your location on the map and get directions to just about anywhere. You’ll learn how to change views between classic Map, Satellite, and Hybrid. You’ll also see how, if you need to find the best route, you can check the Traffic and Construction view using Maps. If you want to find the closest pizza restaurant, golf course, or hotel to your destination, that’s easy, too. And you can use Google’s Street View right from your iPod touch to help you get to your destination. It is easy to add an address you have mapped to your contacts. There’s also a digital compass feature that is fun to play with.
