Google Maps
The location of your pet is displayed using Google Maps on the Search Party page. You can navigate within this map or open Google Maps in a separate window by clicking "Google" in the bottom left-hand corner or the directions symbol. Note that the location on Google Maps in the separate window will not update in real-time; it shows the coordinates at the time you clicked.
