Map Functions.

In the Devices list, an item you’ve marked as lost is shown
with a Lock icon next to it. You can still tap the item in this list
to go to the options screen mentioned earlier. Tap the Activated link
for various Lost Mode options.

Tap the device in the Find My list, then tap Mark as Lost:
Activated and you can change this phone number and/
or message. You can also get email updates (on by default)
and, when you’ve found it, switch off Lost Mode.
Like in Maps, you can pinch and spread on the screen to
zoom into or out of the map. You can also click and hold with
one finger, to drag the map around the screen and tap the 3D
icon to switch between 2D and 3D viewing.The Find My app draws its maps from the Maps app, so
shares some of its functionality too. Like in Maps, you can tap
the arrow icon in the bottom right to home in on your current
location, or that of the person/device selected in the sidebar.9
As a last resort, you can tap the Erase this Device option
to wipe it clean of all information. This should only be
done if you’ve given up all hope of ever recovering it, as, when
it’s wiped, it can no longer be tracked using the Find My app.
Tap the tabs at the foot of the map and you can switch
between a drawn map, a satellite view and a hybrid, that is, a
satellite map with street names overlaid. Also, switch between
miles and kilometres in the View > Distance menu.//AppleUserMAGAZINE
