view additional map layers, such as satellite images,
traffic information, your Google Latitude friends’
locations, and more. You can view multiple layers at the
same time.

2. Tap .
3. Select any of the following:
Ⅲ 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.
Ⅲ 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.
Ⅲ 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.
Ⅲ Buzz: See photos and information about places
shared by other people, or post your own.
Ⅲ 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.
Ⅲ Clear Map: Clear layers and view only the street
map.
Note: Not all locations have information to support all Map
layers or all zoom levels. To learn more about layers,
