On the home screen, we need to find the Travel tile
.
Mine is located at the bottom. Right now, you can see that there is a turquoise tile background and on the tile, there is some writing with the word "Travel". Once the tile has flipped over, it will change to an image of an escalator. It is important to know that the images and the text on your Travel tile will be different than mine because it will depend on what we have looked at in this application. Once you have located the Travel application, you need to press it but if you have not pinned the Travel tile to your home screen, then swipe left and find it in the applications menu. Once you have pressed down on the Tile, this will allow us to enter the application.

What we want to do then, is find the location of a hotel on a map

To do that, we need to press the "Hotel Search" icon at the bottom in a turquoise rectangular box and there is a white bed there as well. Press down on that.

Then, we are going to fill out these forms
.
We do not need to fill them out too importantly because we need just need to add some data. We are going to write "London, England" here. Once we are happy with the other options, we can move these around. We have these different options here: "Check-In" and "Check-Out", we don't need to touch them right now because we are just going to show you how to find a map of a hotel. The only thing you need to do is select a location. Press the "City" text box to select a location.

Once it has loaded up all the hotels, what we are going to do is find one hotel that we are interested in
.
Here, we have the "Hilton London Paddington Hotel". It is $275, it is certainly not cheap. You won't be staying there for too long. What we can do is press down on this hotel.

Once we have pressed down on this hotel, it is going to give us more information about it
.
One of the biggest pieces of information we are going to get is a map. If you see here, it says "VIEW MAP" and it has the address which is highlighted in a turquoise color. If it is highlighted in this way, it means that we can press on it so press down on that and it is going to bring up Bing Maps and this is going to show us the location which is very helpful. It shows us how close it is to important monuments or tourist attractions. It shows us how close to the city center it is and these are all kind of really important things we can do.

Okay, it is showing us the location
.
It is not going to show us the exact location but it is going to show us the region which is all the neighbored locations which is not the worst thing. Some hotels that you find will actually show you the exact street it is on. As you can see, there are a lot of hotels in this area. So you can probably find it just by looking through them.

If we zoom out, it is showing us the neighborhood of London that this hotel is in and it shows us that it is in this little area here and it shows us the things that we are close to as well which is very useful
.
Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help

If we zoom right out, we can see where we are in relation to the rest of London
.
You can see London's city center is here.
