Using the Map Interface


You can easily view a smaller portion of the map in finer detail (zoom in) and see great portions of the map in less detail (zoom out) by using the keys on your mobile device.

To zoom in and see maps in greater detail, press the center button on your phone or the equivalent of the center button on your mobile device. Zoom out using the soft key on your phone, or the left button beneath the word Zoom. A soft key is a key immediately below the cell phone display window, performing the function currently listed on the cell phone display screen.

Note 

Zooming in too far eventually gives you an error telling you that no data is available. Zoom out to again view your map.

You can zoom in either Map view or Satellite view. Zooming in Satellite view allows you to spot landmarks that may help you find your way. When you zoom in or out, a rectangle appears momentarily on the map showing you the area you will see when the new map loads.

Drag the map using the up, down, right, and left arrow keys on your phone. This is a simple way to move around the map. Dragging the map - moving it north, south, east, and west - using the arrow keys is similar to grabbing it with a mouse on the computer-version of Google Maps.
