Changing the Appearance of a Map

Depending on how you like looking at maps, you can change a map’s appearance in one of four ways:

  • Classic Displays the map as a graphic image

  • Satellite Displays an actual photograph of an area

  • Hybrid Displays an actual photograph with cartoon streets drawn over it

  • Terrain Displays a graphic map with elevation levels included

To see the four different ways to display a map, follow these steps:

  1. While using Maps, tap the gray area in the bottom-right corner of the screen where the corner of the map looks like it’s folded back. A list of map appearance options appears, as shown in Figure 25-2.

  2. Change your map’s appearance by tapping Classic, Satellite, Hybrid, or Terrain. The map now displays its new look, as shown in Figure 25-3.

  3. (Optional) Tap the flap in the corner of the Maps screen again. Press the Traffic overlay on/off button to display congested roads in red and yellow.
