Numerous successes have been reported in the media about people using the app to find their lost or stolen devices. In the new view, tapping the blue arrow next to the device will reveal these buttons on the bottom of the screen. Apple also updated the UI of the Find My iPhone app by moving the buttons that play a sound, put the phone into lost mode, and erase the device. Tapping on it switches to the Maps app, which will map a route between your current location and the device. The feature can be found by selecting the device you want-in my case, an iPad mini-and looking for the green car button to the left of the device name. Although the directions predictably rely on Apple's new Maps app-which continues to have a dubious reputation among drivers-the added feature reduces the number of steps one would normally have to take in order to be reunited with a lost device.
