Viewing map layers

Initially, Google Maps opens with a street map. You can view additional map layers, such as satellite images, traffic information, your Google Latitude friends’ locations, and Wikipedia information on locations. You can also view maps that you and other people have created in Google Maps on the web. You can view multiple layers at the same time.

Not all locations have information to support all Map layers or all zoom levels. To learn more about layers, visit Google Maps on the web: http://maps.google.com/

1.While viewing a map, press MENU, and then tap Layers.

2.Select any of the following:

Traffic	(Available only in selected areas.) Real-time traffic conditions are
	displayed over roads as color-coded lines. Each color represents
	how fast the traffic is moving.

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	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.
