Apple expands revamped Maps app to four additional European countries

If you’re hitting the road in Europe, the Apple Maps range of support has expanded yet again.

Apple on Thursday announced that its revamped Maps app is rolling out in the Netherlands, Belgium, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, and Switzerland. The new experience provides more detail, improved navigation, custom-designed 3D models of popular landmarks, immersive turn-by-turn walking directions powered by augmented reality, and more.

The Look Around feature has also been improved for all of these countries and now offers high-resolution street-level imagery in the Maps app. The feature is similar to Google’s Street View, but with smoother transitions when panning and zooming.

The revamped Apple Maps apps first launched in the U.S. back in 2019 and has since expanded to the U.K., Ireland, Canada, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, France, Germany, and select other countries and territories.

According to noted Apple Maps expert Justin O’Beirne, the company could be likely to expand the revamped app to Saudi Arabia and Israel soon.

If you’ve had a chance to test the updated application in the Netherlands, Belgium, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, and Switzerland, please let us know about your experience in the comments.
