• Map: common display with green, white, blue, etc. places, representing the physical spaces they occupy;
• Hybrid: displays the map more faithfully to reality, with houses, streets and the rest via satellite, as things really are. The difference here is for the identification of certain places such as street names, avenues, parks and other things that have proper names;
• Satellite: similar to Hybrid, Satellite mode also displays the map with more fidelity, bringing satellite images, but here there is no display of street names and etc., just the raw map.

All three views have a different way of being seen. As soon as you click on the “i” to change the view, just below Hybrid there is a button, “3D map“. When you click on this button, the map changes to 3D, showing the places in even more detail. To go back to the previous way, just click on 2D map.
