Sharing Maps

The Maps app enables you to use the Bing Maps service to explore maps, search for places and addresses, and find directions. You can view road maps with minimal clutter as well as aerial maps that provide a satellite view of an area. In many cases, you can also view an angled aerial view that provides a 3-dimensional perspective of the map.

Exploring Maps

The Maps app provides maps of practically the entire world, and satellite imagery is available for many areas. There are many tools that enable you to easily explore any area you wish.
