Google Maps allows you to view areas on maps in a variety of different ways, including a "satellite" view that lets you hide labels. You can use this option if you want a clean look at a map of a certain location but don't want streets, city names or other types of objects labeled. You can learn how to switch to a satellite view and turn off street labels by following a few steps.
