Thread: Grand Bayou reservoir

Once your phone finds you on the map you can zoom is as close as you want to where you can even see individual trees in the water.

The little blue triangle will be you and it will move when you move. Josh and I use this feature a lot. It works.

When I go to Google Maps on my cell phone (IPhone 4) and click on the top left menu bar I don't see "Terrain". Did I misunderstand something?

Thanks

Charlie, I have a Samsung S-5 Droid through Verizon. When I open Google Maps, at the top is a search bar that has "Search Google Maps" in it. On the right side of that search bar is a picture of a Microphone. On the left side of that search bar is 3 horizontal bars. If I touch those bars a window opens that has a list that says, "Your Places, Your Timeline, Explore, Traffic, Public Transit, Bicycling, Satellite, Terrain, Google Earth." That is where "Terrain" is.

My IPhone has the three bars, like yours, but when I click on them they do not have a "Terrain" option. But I went to my desktop and opened GE and it has the three bars and does have the "Terrain" option. When I select Terrain it does not show the lake as a photo like you normally get with GE but it shows it like a GPS map and the creek is not shown.

I was really hoping this would work for me. None the less I appreciate your helping hand.

Might want to check this sight out. We know it as Grand Bayou, but the official name is John K. Kelly Grand Bayou Reservoir. http://www.wlf.louisiana.gov/sites/d..._mp-a_2013.pdf
