Getting Started with Maps (iPhone 4)

The beauty of the iPhone 4 is that the programs are designed to work with one another. You’ve already seen how your contacts are linked to the Maps app; just look back at topic 19: "Working with Contacts."

The Maps app is powered by Google Maps—the leader in mobile mapping technology. With Maps you can locate your position, get directions, search for things nearby, see traffic, and much more.

Simply touch the Maps icon to get started.

Determining Your Location (the Blue Dot)

When you start the Maps program, you can have it begin at your current location.

1. Tap the small blue arrow icon at the lower-left corner.

2. Maps will ask to use your current location—touch OK or Don’t Allow.

We suggest choosing OK, which makes it much easier to find directions from or to your current location.

1. Tap the small blue arrow icon at the lower-left corner.
