Even neater, you’ll see proper elevation when navigating complex highways that have ground-level roads with overpasses that intersect.Īpple certainly established a better reputation around Apple Maps with its most recent updates. It not only helps with accessibility since you’ll know those elements are there, but also extends to knowing what lane you need and how to get there properly. Lanes are depicted accurately - with road markings - and intersections show crosswalks. When navigating somewhere on an iPhone, you’ll notice that you’ll see clearer details about lanes in a road. So what’s new with this 3D approach on top of an accurate map? Well, it’s really about the details.
There’s a nighttime view baked into 3D, and Apple’s design team took the time to customize the 3D builds with lights for a starry night look. It’s reminiscent of Google Earth in this mode. One standout feature is Flyover for select landmarks, like the Freedom Tower in NYC or the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, you can get a virtual tour of the site. You can split-screen and capture screenshots to create a virtual tour or follow a guide for some of the cities. Viewing on a larger-screened Apple device has additional perks, with new capabilities such as exploration or educational tasks on an iPad.
So we took the opportunity to create a realistic globe that accurately represents the sizes of countries in 3D,” said Frost. “Before the new map, we had a two-dimensional product and we really had a flat representation of the world. As Dorn and Frost explained, these newer elements - buildings, accurate road styles and climate-appropriate trees - are placed on top of the map. And whether you’re navigating the suburban roads of New Jersey, traveling over the George Washington Bridge to the Bronx or maybe taking a cross-country trek along Route 66, it’s reflected throughout.
