you’re free to only view Google Maps in three ways.
You have the default option, Satellite, and Terrain.
But, if youre ok with that, heres how you’re free to change it.
Go to Setting, and swipe down until you see the option that says Start Maps in Satellite view.
Toggle it on, and youre good to go.
Google Maps will show you the available options that are default, Satellite, and Terrain.
When youre done, you’re able to always change it back to default.
If youre using Google Maps on iPad or iPhone, tap on the Map Layer option and choose Satellite.
Even though theres no button to toggle on, the app will remember your choice for future use.
