Overview

The Quick settings menu is a panel that provides fast access to the most settings during navigation, without having to go deep into the settings.

Map view

Through the Quick settings panel, users can change the map view by selecting one of three available camera modes:

  • 3D. A tilted view aligned with the user’s direction of travel.
  • 2D. A top-down view that provides a clearer overview of the immediate surroundings, also aligned with the user’s direction of travel.
  • North up. A top-down view where the top of the map is fixed to the north. The chevron (user’s position indicator) is centered and points in the direction of travel.

Accessing Quick settings panel

The Quick settings panel can be opened by tapping the menu button located in the bottom-right corner of the map. This button is available on the screen in both the home view and while driving — with or without an active route. The Quick settings panel is not accessible during task-focused experiences such as search or route planning.
