Apple Adds New Flyover Locations in U.S., Mexico and Europe

I also don't see it in Pittsburgh 🙁 I am curious if they updated the satellite imagery too. They still have Mellon Arena in the satellite image, which is obviously long gone...

Yep I always liked the igloo... Saw green day play there lol... I like Consol too though, going out this weekend for a couple games 🙂

The most useless feature ever! I wish Apple would put their map efforts into improving accuracy and/or something useful like live traffic and Street View.

Totally agree. Why not work on letting me drag the map so that I can see what is coming ahead vs having to get out of the routing to see the overview and then restart. Or maybe instead when I put in a name for something local (like a city name), first search for the city closest to me vs one in another country. Taking into account traffic would also be great.

Still no Columbus, Ohio.

Münster, really, Apple?! There are lots of big cities in Germany, not available yet, and you chose Münster?

I couldn't be happier never expected to see my home city being mentioned here in an article on Macrumors 🙂

I easily prefer flyover over streetview. Much more fluid and easy to use. Only thing streetview has been good for is finding me better pictures of the location..

The full list of new Flyover locations:

- Monument Valley, Arizona
- Detroit, Michigan
- Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
- Pensacola, Florida
- Mazatlán, Mexico
- Annecy, France
- Gorges de l'Ardèche, France
- Antwerp, Belgium
- Münster, Germany
- Pamplona, Spain
- Utrecht, Netherlands

Not sure when and where these locations were added, but for me, none of them shows a Flyover option in Maps, neither under OS X 10.11.2, nor under iOS 9.2.
