190 Maps and location
Satellite Google Maps uses the same satellite data as Google Earth™. Satellite
images are not real-time. Google Earth acquires the best imagery
available, most of which is approximately one to three years old.
Terrain Shows the elevation of the map you’re viewing. Elevation is limited to
natural geographic features, like mountains and canyons, and does not
apply to buildings.
Buzz See photos and information about places shared by other people, or post
your own.
Latitude When you have joined Latitude, you can view your friends’ locations as a
layer on the map. For information, see “Finding your friends with Google
Latitude (available by country)” in this chapter.
Clear Map Clear layers and view only the street map.
More Layers Select more layers such as transit lines or maps that you have created in
Google Maps on the web.
