Use Navigation Maps

The map is shown immediately after signing in. The map is centered on your current location. If you are viewing the Main Menu menu_icon_font.png and you would like to return to the map, tap Map or swipe the menu to the left to dismiss it.

You do not need to navigate to make use of the map. Keep the map open while driving to see upcoming streets.
