Maps Are Where It Is - iPad Mini - page 151

Don't forget that you can swipe across your iPad screen with four or five fingers to switch apps. So
if you're in Contacts, a four- or five-finger swipe from right to left should bring you back to the
Maps app. If you have a lot of open apps, you might need more than one swipe to find the Maps
app.
And don't forget you could also use a four-finger swipe upward or double-tap the Home button to re-
veal the multitasking screen.
If nothing happens when you swipe with four or five fingers, tap Settings ⇒ General,
scroll down to the Multitasking Gestures On/Off switch, and make sure it's set to On.
You can also get driving or walking directions from most locations, including a contact's address —
to any other location including another contact's address. You see how to do that in the “ Smart Map
Tricks ” section, later in this chapter.
Viewing, Zooming, and Panning
The preceding section talks about how to find just about anything with Maps. Now here's a look at
some ways that you can use what you find. First, find out how to work with what you see on the
screen. Three views are available at any time: Standard, Hybrid, and Satellite. Select a view by tap-
ping the little i -in-a-circle in the lower-right corner of the screen; an overlay appears with the view
buttons and several other options, as shown in Figure 6-4 .
