Apple Maps’ missing features on the web: Flyover, Look Around, and more

If you told an iPhone user in 2012 that Apple would eventually release a web version of Apple Maps, they probably wouldn’t believe you. Not because it doesn’t make sense — the broad accessibility of Google Maps is something any competitor should emulate — but because the launch of Apple’s navigation service in 2012 was such a disaster it didn’t seem like the company would ever pull out of its tailspin. Over a decade later, Apple Maps has come a long way. Not only is it more or less as reliable as Google’s service — it finally has a web version of its own in beta.
