Maps does not have information about every location

253

You use Maps to find your current location; to view real-time traffic conditions, to get detailed directions by foot, public transportation, bicycle, or car; and to navigate by using spoken, turn-by-turn driving instructions through Google Maps Navigation (Beta).

You can find street addresses, landmarks, and places of business, and locate these points-of-interest directly on a street map or satellite image. In some areas, you can view street-level imagery of businesses and neighborhoods. With Google Latitude, you can view your friends’ locations on your maps and share your location and other information with them.

The Maps app also contains three features that allow for quick access to Google Places, Navigation (Beta), and Latitude; these appear as app icons in the Launcher.
