If you own an iPhone or iPod touch, the Maps app on iPad will be very familiar. The big difference with iPad is the large screen on which you can view all the beautiful map visuals and terrain and street views as long as you have an Internet connection.
You will find lots of great functions in the Maps app, including getting directions with suggested alternate routes from one location to another by foot, car, or public transportation. You can bookmark locations to return to them again. And the Maps app makes it possible to get information about locations, such as the phone numbers and web links to businesses.
