Apple Maps Look Around is now available on the web

You can now access Apple’s answer to Google Street View on the web. As 9to5Mac Apple has reportedly enabled Look Around for the beta version of Apple Maps on the web, allowing 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 select cities in the US, Japan and several European Union countries. To start exploring a location on your desktop, simply click on the binoculars icon in the bottom left corner of the map. Just like Street View, you’ll be able to virtually fly across roads and drag the screen to show more of the area 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 it could already be used to find directions and guides, it was not implemented with Look Around, although Apple 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 to expand its availability. Apple apparently has plans to add smaller cities and rural areas to the Look Around network, as well as add more countries, such as Egypt, China, and Mexico.
