CHAPTER 19: Finding Your Way With Maps

The smaller the circle, the more accurate the prediction. Your location may be indicated
as a blue arrow if the DROID can determine which direction your phone is facing or
moving. If you don't see any circle around your blue dot or arrow, then your location is
as accurate as possible - usually about 3 meters (about 10 feet).
Driving Directions
If you just feel like exploring an area, use the Search button. You can either use the
physical
Menu
button or the button that appears when you press the
Menu
button from
the Home screen. This is useful for answering questions such as “What’s near 131st
street?” or “Where is Uganda?” It’s not, however, for directions on how to get to places.
There’s also a handy
Bookmark
button next to the
My Location
and
End point
fields. This lets you choose from your current location, a place you point to on the map,
the address of one of your contacts, or any location you’ve starred.
You’ll also see a series of buttons below these fields for choosing what mode of
transportation you need. You can choose car, public
transportation, bicycle, and walking directions. This is a lifesaver if you’re trying to get
anywhere in a big city without a car.
Follow these steps to get actual driving directions:
1.
Press the Menu button.
2.
Tap Directions.
You’ll see fields for My Location and End point , as
shown to the right. The My Location field assumes
that you want directions from your current location. If
you want to use a different address, you’ll need to
enter it here.
