Searching for Types of Places
If you’re looking for pizza or a supermarket, the Maps app is smart enough to fig-
ure out what you want and display multiple pins identifying locations of businesses
that match your search. You can also use the Search feature to find particular cities,
towns, and even well-known landmarks like the Empire State Building or Golden
Gate Park.

Maps screen appears.
2. Tap the Search tab in the upper-left corner
of the screen.
3. Tap the Location icon, or simply scroll the
map to an area that you want to investigate.
4. Tap the Search field in the upper-right
corner of the screen. The virtual keyboard
appears at the bottom of the screen.
5. Type a description of the place you want to
find, such as pizza or gas. Red pins appear
on the map to identify locations that match
your search criteria.
6. Tap the Results icon (it looks like three
white horizontal lines inside a gray circle)
at the far right of the Search field. A list of
names and addresses of places that match
your search criteria appears, as shown in
Figure 27-9.
