I might be not seeing the obvious, ... but I cannot figure out how to activate the "overlays for Maps – satellite, car (daylight mode), transit (public transport) and night mode" in Maps. I am on Vaarainjarvi (Update 10) and was on Uitukka (Update 9) before. According to the Jolla store are all apps latest.

I would be grateful about an explanation on how to activate the different overlays/views in Maps on my Jolla.

UPDATE: This is what it looks like on my Jolla:

UPDATE 2: after following the comments below, I've updated the Maps app manually (remove/reinstall) and tatahhh now I do have the overlays available:

@eric I don't understand, why the question was marked as "answered" by you.

There seems to be some problem with the Maps app not being correctly updated, it's possible you need to manually go to the 'Maps' app in the store and select to update it there. (For reference: https://together.jolla.com/question/72613/)

@sunnystar: The answer is correct so as an admin I take the liberty to close this as answered so we do not clutter TJC with questions with correct answers remaining in open status...

When you're looking at the map, tap once to bring up the "Directions" and "What's near" buttons. Notice now in the bottom of the screen the text "Street map" and two icons to the left and right of this text. These are the toggles for the new features.

Thanks for the explanation, but I cannot find the toggles on my Jolla. I've added a screenshot to the questions. What am I doing wrong?

It's the same for me, I'm also missing the overlays...

Some reason you have to uninstall existing map and install new map application to get feature. https://together.jolla.com/question/60686/native-jolla-apps-new-versions-after-upgrade-to-uitukka-11038-11039/

@tt Thanks! This was the solution!

And it works for me, too :)
