Satellite: Google Maps uses the same satellite data as Google Earth™. Satellite images are not real- time. Google Earth acquires the best imagery available, most of which is approximately one to three years old.

Buzz: Displays information and photos of a location or place which you or your friends have posted. With Google Buzz you can share a tip, make a recommendation, post a photo, or find out what other people are talking about on a particular location, such as an upcoming traffic jam or a concert — all while viewing a map.

Latitude: When you have joined Latitude, you can view your friends’ locations as a layer on the map. For information, see “Google Latitude” in this chapter.

To select more layers such as transit lines or maps that you have created in Google Maps on the Web, tap More layers.

To clear layers and view only the street map, tap Clear map.
