You can "grab" the Western Australia road map and move it around to re-centre the map. You can change between standard map view and satellite map view using the small square on the bottom left hand corner of the map. Satellite map view utilizes orbiting satellite or aerial high resolution photography to display images of the map location to street level detail (really quite amazing). Standard map view shows a traditional street map sometimes called a road map. You can use the zoom buttons on the bottom right hand side of the map to zoom in or out to street level detail.
