How To See 3D Aerial Views With Apple Maps
Apple recently demonstrated the Flyover technology of its Maps app, pointing out that this feature can be used during National Park Week to get a nice overview of the beautiful, scenic landscape from the air. While the best way to experience nature is in person, travel can be difficult sometimes, unlike a virtual adventure that can be enjoyed at any time of day regardless of the location.
Apple launched its Google Maps competitor in 2012, promising features like turn-by-turn directions, three-dimensional maps, and 'Look Around', Apple's equivalent of Google's Street View. While the concept was sound and became the default option on the iPhone, Apple soon began getting complaints when the inevitable comparison of its Maps app to Google Maps found it wanting in terms of coverage and accuracy. Apple persisted, and over the years, the gap has narrowed to the point that Apple Maps matches Google Maps on the iPhone in many ways.

The Flyover feature was added to Apple Maps a decade ago, yet the option is only available in a select group of major cities and landmark locations. There's a good chance that many users could be unaware this feature even exists. A recent Tweet by Apple Support brought the feature to light, and shows what Apple Maps Flyover looks like on the iPhone. When viewing a map, tapping a city or landmark's name opens a place card, and if Flyover is available for that location a button will be visible just to the right of Directions. Tapping it will load the aerial view and selecting Start Tour begins a preset flight path that covers the main points of interest.
