Location

Find your current location and street address on Google Maps

This application will find your present location and display the corresponding street address, which can also be displayed by tapping the marker icon. Additionally, if the Address box is checked (in Settings), an updated popup will appear each time the location is remapped. Should you be using a Tablet sized device the Altitude (in metres) and Accuracy (%) will also be shown.

Other settings include the 4 Google Map variations, Satellite, Hybrid, Terrain and Normal; the definitions of which can be found in online Google documentation.

The set of WiFi and GPS buttons refers to the method used to track your device. GPS, which is more accurate but depends on line of sight to the satellite and should therefore only be used outside; or Wifi and Cell Tower triangulation, not so accurate, but will work indoors.

Once your location has appeared on the map then all the standard Google Map settings, such as Street View, for example, can be applied.
