\"googleSatellite View is a feature that has been in Google Maps since the service was first released. It can be handy to see a real-world top-down view of any location.\u00a0We\u2019ll show you how to start in this view by default on Android and iPhone.<\/p>\n

Before we enable Satellite View by default, you should know that it will use more data than the minimalist \u201cMap\u201d view. Satellite View will also be enabled during turn-by-turn navigation. Keep this in mind if you use Google Maps with a mobile data connection.<\/p>\n

The process for enabling Satellite View by default is a little different on Android and iPhone. We\u2019ll start with Google Maps for Android.<\/p>\n

Open the Maps<\/a> app<\/a> on your Android smartphone or tablet and tap your profile icon in the top-right corner.<\/p>\n

\"tap<\/p>\n

Next, select \u201cSettings\u201d from the menu.<\/p>\n

\"select<\/p>\n

Scroll down and toggle the switch for \u201cStart Maps in Satellite View.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"start<\/p>\n

It\u2019s as simple as that. Google Maps will now be in Satellite View when you open it in the future.<\/p>\n

Things work a little differently in Google Maps for the\u00a0iPhone<\/a> and iPad<\/a>. Open the app and tap the layers button in the top-right corner.<\/p>\n

\"tap<\/p>\n

Next, select \u201cSatellite\u201d from the \u201cMap Type\u201d section of the menu.<\/p>\n

\"choose<\/p>\n

That\u2019s it! The app will remember this selection and start in Satellite View from now on.<\/p>\n

\n

This is a simple thing, but it can save time if you find yourself switching to Satellite View a lot. It\u2019s a little annoying that the Android app doesn\u2019t simply save your selection as the iPhone does, but at least there\u2019s a setting for it.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
