To look at the restaurants on the map, tap on the globe icon in a green circle

While using this feature, we can find restaurants in a neighborhood, or even on just one street. It's important to note that we must allow 'TripAdvisor' to access our current location on the first time opening the app.

11
Now we can see the results on the map
.
We are in 'Tbilisi', but this map is not the best quality since 'Tbilisi' isn't a very popular location. When using these maps in a European city, they will be much better quality with more details and street names.
