It took Apple a long, long time to properly bring Apple Maps to the web, but the version that we got in July was…well, adequate. You could use it to search for places, explore the map or get directions, but advanced features such as Look Around, Apple’s version of Google Maps’ Street View, were missing.
Well, Apple recently rectified this omission.
Apple is finally getting serious about foldable devices, reports say
As noticed by Chris Carley (via 9to5Mac) Apple Maps beta now has Look Around, which shows up as a small binoculars icon in the bottom left corner of the map. Click it, and you get a small window showing you the surroundings in a 360-degree, panoramic view. You can extend that window to cover the entire area of the map. Inside the Look Around view, you can click and drag with your mouse to turn around, zoom in and out with a pinch gesture on your trackpad, or double tap anywhere to move the camera forward.
