Following up on its WWDC 2020 announcement stating it would bring improved Apple Maps to additional countries, Apple has begun testing of more detailed maps, which are now available in France, Monaco, and New Zealand.
Users in the territories can see more detail and better renders of 3D objects in Apple Maps. Elements such as the Eiffel Tower, Notre-Dame Cathedral, and Mont Saint-Michel have been spotted with improved renders, as well as speed limit updates.
The maps of Monaco and New Zealand offer more detail, such as the numerous jetties of Monaco. A view of Auckland shows the introduction of 3D-rendered elements to the map.
Apple typically takes around 47 days to test an Apple Maps update in public, and it’s thought that the changes for this expansion will wrap up by July 15.
The testing follows after the 14th expansion of Apple Maps, which saw the new experience introduced to Germany and Singapore in April.
If you’re over in Monaco, France, or New Zealand, please let us know if your Apple Maps experience has changed in the comments.
