Chapter 16: Getting Directions with Maps
When you're in an unfamiliar neighborhood, you may not know where you are or how to get to where you want to go. Even if you're in a familiar part of town, you may not know how to get to certain places, such as stores, parks, or buildings. To help you get around, you need a map.
Of course, paper maps quickly go out of date, so a far better solution is to use the Maps app on your iPhone. Not only can the Maps app accurately map your location as long as you have a cellular phone or Wi-Fi connection, but it can provide directions in major cities around the world.
With your iPhone and the Maps app, you'll never risk getting lost again, whether you're looking for a new place near your home or trying to navigate an unfamiliar part of the world.
The topics covered in this chapter are as follows:
- Customizing the Maps app
