should be under the icons for Settings and pinpointing

your location. If Look Around data is available, you’ll

see a Look Around image pop up. You can either press

Done to exit or the expand icon with two arrows in

the upper-left of the preview if you want to see the

imagery in full-screen mode.

• For a more immediate full-screen view, should also
  see a preview of the Look Around view under the
  address once Apple Maps pulls it up. Press the preview
  image, and it should expand to full-screen mode. Once
  you’re done, you can either use the minimize button
  in the upper left-hand corner or press Done.

Use Look Around without entering an address

I often like to use Google’s Street View as a ‘virtual

tourist’ by dropping Google’s little orange man in a spot

that looks interesting. This sort of thing is possible with

Look Around – so long as Look Around is supported in

the area, that is – but it’s comparatively awkward.

For one thing, the binoculars icon that announces

if Look Around is supported only shows up if you’ve

zoomed in close to the desired location. Sometimes

you’ll even have to zoom in if you used the search tool:

if you look up the Golden Gate Bridge, for instance,

you’ll find that the span is so long that the Look

Around icon won’t show up in the upper right unless

you zoom in further manually.

1. Open Maps.


2. Use your fingers to navigate to a general location.


3. Zoom in close until the binoculars icon appears in
   the upper right. Press it.
