Google Map iPhone Trick
What’s up everyone? This is Ryan with UniqueApps.com. I’ve got a pretty cool iPhone trick for you all today.
Now, before we get this trick started it’s actually going to be utilizing Google Maps. I wanted to say that I’m not sure which version of the OS that this trick is supported by. Right now, I have 3.1 installed on my iPhone and I have 3.0 installed on my iPod Touch and I can do this on both of those, so I don’t know about anything less than the 3.0. I’m not sure if this works on or not.
So, with that set I’m going to go ahead and get it started. Like I said I’m using Google Maps, so I’m going to open up Google Maps and you’ll see that I actually just open up Saint Petersburg, Florida. And now what I’m going to do is I'm just going to search for something common like pizza and it’s going to bring up all the pizza locations here in Saint Petersburg, Florida.
And if you’re familiar with Google Maps you can tap on this little blue arrow right here. I can see the phone number, their homepage, and their address. I can get directions to or from here, but that’s actually not what I’m going to be viewing today. If you see most of these you could see this little profile icon, this little orange icon orange icon and most of them have them down here.
So, what I’m going to do is I want you to click on this orange profile icon it’s actually going to bring up a real time view of where this location is, so I can actually again this is real or not real time, but this is a real view of downtown Saint Petersburg right now, so I can actually see so it’s really good to get a view.
Again, let me go back to the map and you see the map icon. It’s showing me what I’m viewing on the map here, whenever I click back on this map icon it’s going to open back up in Google Maps. Now, I can do this with anyone so I can click here. Well, first off you can only do it if it has this orange profile icon.
Most of the regular search terms like pizza or bookstore or movies or something like that have this profile icon but not all of them have it, so if it doesn’t you can’t do that, but I’m going to go here real quick again and so again this is where the Domino’s is. Now I can look all around to see exactly where this is and looks like its maybe over here somewhere.
But another cool thing is I can actually tap and I can actually go down the roads on, and if you tap off here on the top it will actually show the address here, 2707 Ulmerton Rd., so let me bring that up again and now as I’m going the address is changing 2787, 2809 Ulmerton Rd., 2827 Ulmerton Rd., so just a very cool tip that you can use for Google Maps.
Again, if you’re not sure what the place looks like, like you know you’re pretty where this pizza place is, but if you want to see exactly where it is you just tap on that icon there and again you can see exactly what’s the surroundings look like
So, again that’s a little trick. Some of you may know it. Some of you may not know it but if you didn’t hope you enjoy the tip, and I hope you enjoy this video. Please subscribe for more videos and I hope you’ll have a great day.
