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.

Terrain: Shows the elevation of the map you’re viewing. Elevation is limited to natural geographic features, like mountains and canyons, and does not apply to buildings.

Buzz: See photos and information about places shared by other people, or post your own.

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

Clear Map: Clear layers and view only the street map.

More Layers: Select more layers such as transit lines or maps that you have created in Google Maps on the web.
