IOS in Practice: launch Flyover 3D tours in Maps on iPhone and iPad, cities covered

In iOS, we find a whole bunch of
very useful features and others which are much more useless.
Once is not customary, it is to this second category that we are going
interest us today in the“In practice” sectionof
site..

For several years now, Apple has offered its own service
cartography in which certain places in the world are visible in 3D. But
Apple goes even further and actually offers a guided tour of some
big cities. This is what Apple calls theTour
Flyover
.

Up for a little walk?

To discover the city of your choice (among those available)
from the sky there is ultimately not much to do. Indeed,
just launch the Maps app and search for the name
of the city of which you wish to take the Tour.

At this moment, on the upper part of the screen just below the field of
research, theTour should be offered.

Then just press 'to start up' and to let yourself
porter.

The 3D tour revolves around the monuments, moves and indicates the name of
what is visualized.

The number of cities in which it is possible to do this Flyover Tour
is relatively restricted.

In France we found it (with your help in the comments, thank you!
) :

  • Paris
  • Lyon
  • Béziers
  • Biarritz
  • Bordeaux
  • Clermont-Ferrand
  • Marseille
  • Perpignan
  • Saint-Tropez
  • Millau
  • Cannes
  • Nice
  • Strasbourg

The siteMacrumorsis
had fun spotting them a few months ago. You will find them surrounded by green
in the image below.

Far from being essential, this function is still quite nice for
travel virtually.
