Apple Maps Brings Look Around Feature to Web Browsers

The Street View-like functionality is now accessible on major browsers, expanding beyond Apple devices.

  • Apple has added its Look Around feature to the beta web version of Apple Maps, allowing users to explore areas with 360-degree street-level views.
  • Previously exclusive to Apple devices, the feature is now compatible with Safari, Chrome, Edge, and Firefox on Macs, iPads, and Windows PCs.
  • Look Around is available in select cities across the US, Canada, Europe, Australia, Japan, and more, with Apple planning to expand coverage to additional countries and rural areas.
  • The web version of Apple Maps still lacks some features present in the app, such as 3D buildings, transit maps, and the ability to save locations.
  • Apple Maps' web access, introduced in July 2024, aims to compete with Google Maps by offering enhanced functionality and prioritizing user privacy.
