Seems odd when they have many cities worldwide with 3D buildings.

Can anyone with the GM confirm this?

Hopefully Apple has made a mistake on their website.

I have a US phone but I can see multiple cities in 3D in Europe and Australia.

They probably feel like they don't have enough of other countries' geography mapped to claim it as a feature outside of the US.

Well I'm in the UK and can see all those.

I think he means 3D building when doing turn by turn directions.

 

[ManuCH]

I'm in Switzerland and I can see them too.

Good to hear.

Let's hope Apple has made a mistake on their website then.

WOuld have thought this would have been bigger news because the 3D buildings in maps are a big selling point for me.

It's not a mistake. They're just not touting it as a feature elsewhere because so little is mapped.

will Apple be updating cities as time goes on?

No, they deem the rest of the world to be a toilet.
