Explore the streets • Drop a pin on the map and step into the 360° view at street level — optionally in full resolution for razor-sharp detail. • Now including user-contributed 360° photos from places no camera car ever reached — mountain tops, trails, indoor spots. • Heart your favorite spots and find them again in the List and on the Map. Step inside • Open any photo to a true 360° view and drag to look around — no roll, no distortion. • Zoom in to inspect the details, then jump to the next, previous, or a random panorama. • On Apple Vision Pro the scene wraps completely around you in full immersion, with a comfort vignette as you turn.
