Apple announced new features coming to Apple Maps<\/a> at their Worldwide Developers Conference<\/a> earlier this week.<\/p>\n

Said features include the rebuilt map data previously announced for iOS 12 (previously: Apple Maps Data Being Completely Rebuilt for iOS 12<\/a>; A Look at the Rebuilt Apple Maps<\/a>) but, as they announced this week, will be available across the United States by the end of 2019, and in other countries in 2020 (see press release<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Properly new in iOS 13 is Look Around, a feature similar to Street View in that it presents a three-dimensional street-level imagery, but with what appears to be a slightly different user interface (9to5Mac<\/a><\/em>).<\/p>\n

Other features announced include favourites, sharing and other items you’d expect from an online map service: Apple is essentially doing its best to catch up and be as feature-complete as the competition. That includes upgrades to MapKit, their developer toolkit (previously<\/a>).<\/p>\n

More coverage: MacRumors<\/em><\/a>, Mashable<\/em><\/a>, USA Today<\/em><\/a>. The maps section of the WWDC keynote starts at around 35:10<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
