Ask and you shall hear.
Voice Control knows the music in your iPod touch. Want to hear something specific? All you have to do is ask. For instance, say “Play artist Bob Dylan,” and iPod touch does just that. Ask what song is playing and hear iPod touch answer. Tell it to play your favorites album, artist or playlist. Speak simple commands such as “shuffle,” “next song,” and “pause.” Even have iPod touch play more songs like the one you’re listening to.
Find yourself. And what’s around you.
You’re always in the middle of somewhere. And iPod touch finds exactly where using known Wi-Fi hotspots. If you’re trying to make a plan or a Plan B, it also finds points of interest by keyword: Search for “coffee” and iPod touch shows cafes near you. So you’ll get lost only if you really want to.
Map it out.
Forget having to stop and get directions. Just ask your iPod touch. Use a Wi-Fi connection and simply type in an address and get directions from wherever you are. Choose the method of transportation car, public transport or walking and view a list of turn-by-turn directions. See a highlighted map route with estimated travel time. You can also mark specific locations and find the best route between them. So your plans and your pride can stay intact.
Change your point of view.
Just like Google Maps on your computer, Maps on iPod touch lets you switch between views of Google map data, satellite images and a hybrid of both. Multi-Touch makes the difference. Tap to zoom, pan and change your view on the move.
Be unstuck in traffic.
There’s nothing worse than hitting the road only to get caught in traffic. Plan ahead with Maps on iPod touch and your Wi-Fi connection. Maps shows you live traffic information, indicating traffic speed along your route in easy-to-read green, red and yellow highlights. Happier trails to you.
