In addition, interactive maps often include features such as zooming in and out, scrolling, and panning, which can create a sense of control and involvement for the user.

In the search bar, enter a destination or tap it on the map. Follow the on-screen instructions to help Maps find your location. Tip: Point your phone camera at buildings and signs across the street, instead of trees and people. Once Maps knows where you are, you'll get directions through the camera view on your screen.

Google Maps is a web service that provides detailed information about geographical regions and sites worldwide. In addition to conventional road maps, Google Maps offers aerial and satellite views of many locations.

On your computer, open Google Maps. Type an address or name of a place. To filter your search results, use the drop-down menus below the search box.
