To change your Google Maps to satellite mode, follow these simple steps:
- Open the Google Maps app on your Android or iOS device.
- Tap your profile picture or initial located in the top right corner of the screen. This will open a menu.
- Tap "Settings."
- Turn on "Start maps in satellite view." This setting will ensure that Google Maps automatically opens in satellite view each time you use the app.
That's it! Now, every time you open Google Maps, it will default to the satellite view, giving you a realistic overhead perspective. You can switch back to the standard map view by repeating the steps above and toggling the "Start maps in satellite view" option off.
