Move around Maps by dragging the screen. To face a different direction, rotate with two fingers. To return to north, tap the compass in the upper right.
Zoom in or out. Double-tap with one finger to zoom in and tap with two fingers to zoom out - or just pinch and stretch. The scale appears in the upper-left while zooming. To change how distance is shown (miles or kilometers), go to Settings > Maps.
You can search for a location in different ways:
If Maps guesses where you're headed while you're entering a search, tap that location in the list below the search field.
Find the location of a contact, or of a bookmarked or recent search. Tap Bookmarks.
Choose your view. Tap , then choose Standard, Hybrid, or Satellite.
Manually mark a location. Touch and hold the map until the dropped pin appears.
