Flyover mode in Maps uses ARKit

[Jensend]

Now anyone can try an ARKit app without compiling their own app with Xcode. Unfortunately, you can't see the camera feed on the screen at all, so you can't really judge the accuracy very easily.

How do you access flyover mode?

I did a search for New York, selected the result for the city, and it brings up a side bar about NYC that has a Flyover button

Very cool. Thanks. Near feature.

Works well just used it for London. Was slow to load though. Made a video clip.

You can also click on the 3D Flyover icon on a city in map view just like in iOS 10. It just that in iOS 10 it was a preset Flyover and now it AR.

The best thing about it is the ability to pan around simply by moving your phone. No need to rotate with your fingers, etc...Very intriguing.

Even better with an iPad.

A new iPad. My Air 2 can't do it.

I don’t know how you do that. I only see a 3D impressive drone view of important cities. But nothing related with AR. If I see 3D free view with compass I can see the zone where I am and rotating the phone does the same with the map. But my camera does not show nothing. Where is AR here? Sorry because may be I don’t see it....

Yes it is SUPER cool/fun/WOW but unfortunately not nearly as useful as Street View is.

I insist. What is related with AR? When is the moment joining reality (from camera) and renders?

Pretty cool - haven't actually used that at all to this point but that's interesting

It worked yesterday but not now. No 3D image at all in maps.
