How to Turn Off Satellite View on Google Maps on iPhone or iPad

Open Google Maps on your iPhone or iPad. It’s the map icon with a red pushpin inside. It’s usually on the home screen.

Tap the map view icon. It’s the two overlapping diamonds at the top-right corner of the map. A list of map types will expand at the bottom of the screen.

Tap Default. It’s the first option at the bottom-left corner of the screen. This switches you back to the regular map style. To see an elevation-style map, tap Terrain.

Tap the X. It’s at the top-right corner of the list of map types. This returns you to the map.
