As Apple Maps continues to enhance its services since iOS 15’s launch in 2021, this week marks another milestone with the inclusion of 3D mapping and cycling directions in Paris. The revamped map of the iconic city now showcases custom-designed landmarks, providing users a vivid and interactive exploration experience.

Discover Paris like never before with Apple Maps

The latest map update boasts increased detail for various elements like buildings, commercial zones, green spaces, and elevation aspects, along with road markings and public transit routes. This will undoubtedly enhance turn-by-turn navigation experiences. Parisians and tourists alike can now enjoy augmented reality walking instructions around the city. Moreover, cycling enthusiasts are not left behind; Apple Maps introduces directions along bike lanes and bike-friendly roads.

One can’t think of Paris without the iconic Eiffel Tower coming to mind. Now, this world-renowned landmark, along with the Louvre museum and others, can be admired in 3D on Apple Maps.

The expansion of detailed mapping is not limited to Paris. Other cities including Atlanta, Berlin, Boston, Chicago, Las Vegas, London, Los Angeles, Melbourne, Miami, Montréal, New York, Philadelphia, San Diego, San Francisco, Seattle, Sydney, Toronto, and Washington D.C., already enjoy the benefits of Apple Maps’ detailed 3D service.
