Watch the iOS 8 Flyover City Tour feature in action

by 79 comments

When Apple announced iOS 8 and OS X Yosemite at the WWDC ’14 keynote, one of the features listed on one of the slides was Flyover City Tours in Maps.

Flyover City Tours uses the Flyover data for select locations around the world and gives you a bird’s eye view of the major landmarks in the area by zooming in and spinning around. Apple has some highly detailed 3D models of major cities around the world and the City Tour feature makes good use of them.

Although the feature will be present in the final version of both operating systems when they release later this year, you can try it out right now if you have iOS 8 beta installed, although it is a bit hard to access. You can find instructions on how to use City Tours on iOS 8 in the link below.
