Find yourself.

iPhone 3G finds your location via GPS or by triangulating your position using Wi-Fi and cellular towers. Drop a pin to mark your location, bookmark it, or share it with others via email. iPhone 3G also finds points of interest by keyword: Search for “coffee” and iPhone shows you every cafe nearby.

Enjoy the view.

Just like Google Maps on your computer, Google Maps on iPhone lets you switch between views of map data, satellite images, hybrid view, or street view. Multi-Touch makes the difference. Tap to Zoom, pan, and change your view on the move.

Get directions.

Get directions to wherever from wherever. View a list of turn-by-turn directions or follow a highlighted map route and track your progress with live GPS tracking.

See traffic.

Maps on iPhone shows you live traffic information, indicating traffic speed along your route in easy-to-read green, red, and yellow highlights.

Maps, directions, and location information depend on data collected by third parties. These data services are subject to change and may not be available in all geographic areas, resulting in maps, directions, or location information that may be unavailable, inaccurate, or incomplete.
