Viewing Map Layers - HTC Desire User Manual

 Maps and location

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.

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.
Multiple layers can be viewed 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/
