When traveling, 2D maps are a great way to find your way quickly, thanks to the directions provided by the names of streets and buildings. While some prefer the satellite view, others use even more efficient technology which makes it possible toimmerse oneselftotally in the environment.
At Google, this option is called Street View and has been available for several years with the serviceMaps. Simply use a radar to scan a location in three dimensions, and then navigate through it from an application. A concept that also appealedApple, already at work to cover the Île de France.
As is often the case, America is served first
Unfortunately, Paris is not yet available onLook Around, the name given to this feature on Maps, Cupertino's GPS tool for iPhone,Macand iPad. We will still have to wait a few weeks until the entire municipality has been covered by the Californian firm's sensors.
However, three new metropolises are now compatible in the USA:
- Boston, the capital of Massachusetts,
- Philadelphia, in Pennsylvania,
- etWashington, seat of the country's legislative and executive power.
This list completes a first series of seven cities already digitized. As a reminder, these are Houston, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, New York, Ohau, Santa Cruz and of course San Francisco, mother land of Steve Jobs' company.
To take advantage of it, you don't need to go there: you just have to go throughPlans, no matter your geolocation or device. The additions are already available in the French version of the program.
