And we named lack of robust Look Around coverage as a key disadvantage compared to Google, with its very built-out Street View. The verdict we came to then was that Apple Maps is becoming much more competitive with leader Google Maps in many parts of the United States but that it still lags far behind the competition in most other regions. We first took a gander at Look Around in our in-depth iOS 13 review, where we also took an opportunity to re-assess Apple Maps. Generally, we have observed that the resolution and quality of the photography is better than what we've usually seen in Google's version, and Apple applies some slick animations and parallax effects to make the view more immersive and natural-looking. Apple displays Yelp listings and other data on real-world buildings and monuments in the viewport when Look Around is displayed in full screen.

Like Google Street View, the feature allows users to zoom in to street-level photography of most streets in an urban area. Look Around was added as a feature in iOS 13 last September, but it launched with coverage only in or near San Francisco. Like other methods of sharing content on iOS devices, users can use SharePlay by tapping the listing they’d like to share and clicking Apple’s share button, which is a square icon with an upward-pointing arrow.Apple Maps has been slowly expanding regional coverage for its Google Street View-like Look Around feature, and now MacRumors forum members have spotted rollouts for the feature in the US cities of Philadelphia, Boston, and Washington, DC. If they need some help sussing out the perfect abode, iOS users can use Apple’s SharePlay function to browse listings together on separate devices - an integration Zillow launched in December. In addition to viewing listings, homebuyers can also take a look at other nearby points of interest including restaurants, transit stops, gas stations and more. Hide labels in full-screen view: Tap the place card at the bottom of the screen, then tap the eye symbol with the slash through it.View another point of interest: Switch from full-screen view, then tap elsewhere on the map.Switch to or from full-screen view: Tap one of the two icons with arrows pointing toward or away from each other.
