Road, Aerial, Hybrid and Bird's Eye
You can see four types of maps on YellowPageMe.com:
- Road: This street map shows roads, highways and landmarks, and more. This is the default map style on YellowPageMe.com.
- Aerial: This view combines satellite images with photographs taken from airplanes.
- Hybrid: This view combines the Road and Aerial maps. Roads, highways and landmarks are displayed over of the aerial imagery.
- Bird's Eye: Bird's Eye Maps are high-resolution, low-angle photographs taken from small aircraft. Bird's eye images are not available for all areas of the United States at this time. To determine whether a bird's eye image is available for the area you are viewing, zoom in to the area while viewing a road, aerial or hybrid map. When you reach the appropriate zoom level, if a bird's eye image is available, the "Bird's Eye" button will appear in the Map Controller.

Using Bird's Eye Maps
