Apple has completed the rollout of its redesigned Maps app in the United States, offering better road coverage and pedestrian data, more precise addresses, and detailed land cover
Shared within an update today, Apple said it is “deeply invested” in creating the “best and most private” maps app in the world, giving its customersaster and more accurate navigation and comprehensive views of roads, buildings, parks, airports, malls and more.
Apple’s redesigned Maps experience has gradually been arriving across the US, with today marking the official completion of the project in the country.
Within a statement, Eddy Cue said:
We set out to create the best and most private maps app on the planet that is reflective of how people explore the world today. It is an effort we are deeply invested in and required that we rebuild the map from the ground up to reimagine how Maps enhances people’s lives — from navigating to work or school or planning an important vacation — all with privacy at its core. The completion of the new map in the United States and delivering new features like Look Around and Collections are important steps in bringing that vision to life. We look forward to bringing this new map to the rest of the world starting with Europe later this year.
Alongside showcasing the redesigned experience, Apple took the opportunity to tout Look Around which first launched with iOS 13, allowing users to see street-level high-resolution Google Streetview-like images in New York City, the San Francisco Bay Area, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Houston, and Oahu.
