Favorites

If you’re like most people, you tend to live in one place. You probably have
a home, and you may very well have a place of work. It’s possible you have
a friend or two.

Fortunately, you don’t have to painstakingly re-enter these addresses every

time you want directions someplace. You can designate any place, or even

any set of directions, as a favorite; just tap the that appears on the
information panel for any address or establishment. From the shortcut
menu, choose Favorites, Home, or Work.

Once you’ve accumulated a few, it’s easy enough to call them up again: Tap
the icon at top. Tap a Favorite place to see it on the map.

3D Cities

All the time Microsoft was trawling the world’s cities to create Streetside, it

was also assembling 3D Cities, which is closely modeled on Apple’s
Flyover feature. It depicts certain cities (150 and counting) as three-
dimensional models—like aerial views, except that you can peek behind
buildings (Figure 8-16).
