iOS Maps - Flyover like in Apple advertisement?

This was enabled in previous betas when you searched for a specific location it would automatically go into fly over. I have no idea how to do it now though, maybe there's a secret way.

 

This is hilarious. It was the one feature of the new Maps that I really wanted and I can't figure out how to use it. No upgrade for me on my other devices till Google releases a maps application. Glad I haven't "upgraded" my other devices to iOS 6.

 

This tells you the cities that have flyover available, but i still can't find how to do it....

You have to bookmark the supported locations and have the buildings button enabled. Once you select it from your bookmarks, it'll automatically do the Flyover animation.

* Make sure the buildings button is enabled before you select it from your bookmarks or it will not work.

** I noticed that the flyover animation goes off of how much you zoomed in on the location before you bookmarked it. So if you bookmark the location from a far view, it'll do the Flyover from that far distance. So make sure to zoom in close to the buildings before you bookmark it.

 

Just tried this and it works brilliantly, thank you.

It's the 3-D button that you need activated, which turns into a buildings button in major cities, so as long as 3-D is selected before you hit the bookmark, it will work.

EDIT - As a tip, you do need to mess about a bit to get the desired zoom & viewing angle, but it's great it works as I had read it was merely a feature created for the initial demo.

 

Imagine if they combine flyover with game controls to let you fly through the city by tilting your device
