You can now access Apple’s answer to Google Street View on the web. like 9to5Mac reports, Apple is enabling Look Around for beta version on Apple Maps on the weballowing you to literally look around and explore the cities where it is available. The company has a complete list of “Look around” locations on its website and includes selected cities in the US, Japan and several countries in the European Union. To start exploring a place on your desktop, just click on the binoculars icon in the lower left corner of the map. Like Street View, you’ll be able to virtually fly over roads and slide the screen to show more of the place with the feature’s 360-degree images.
Apple launched the beta version of Maps for the web in July with a number of limitations. Access was limited to certain devices and browsers. While you can already use it to search for directions and guides, it didn’t come with Look Around, although Apple has promised to add more features in the coming months. Although Look Around’s coverage is quite limited at the moment, MacRumors previously reported finding clues in Apple Maps that suggest the company is working on expanding its availability. Apple apparently has plans to add smaller cities and rural areas to the Look Around network, as well as adding more countries, such as Egypt, China and Mexico.
