Apple Maps now features transit information, 3D view feature for Portugal and the Netherlands

This should come in handy.

Apple has apparently expanded the Apple Maps transit information and added a 3D view feature for Portugal and the Netherlands.

The company has added 3D rendering of satelite images to the cities of Amsterdam, Haarlem, Zandvoort, Bloemendaal, Heemstede, Hoofddorp, Zaandam, and Aalsmeer. Prior to this, a 3D view was only available for Rotterdam, Eindhoven, and Utrecht in the Netherlands. Flyover is not yet available in the new locations.

The expansion also appears to include several surrounding towns and villages such as Lisse, Abcoude, Amersfoort, Soest, Baarn, and Leusden. The images used are reportedly from the spring of this year.

Apple has also added updated transit information for the city of Liston in Portugal, including its surrounding areas. Apple Maps users can now utilize public transportation information for the region.

Transit directions were first added to ‌‌Apple Maps‌‌ in 2015 with the launch of iOS 9. Maps initially only offered transit information in a handful of cities, but over the course of the last five years, Apple has worked to expand the feature to additional areas.

Stay tuned for additional details as they become available.
