Look Around arrives in Spain
Obviously this function of the Apple maps will be deployed, little by little, throughout our country, but what is clear is that those from Cupertino have chosen Spain and Portugal as new countries that can enjoy this great feature.
Surely if you've ever used Google Maps, you've seen the street view function. An option that really comes in handy when we go looking for a street, for example. And it is that with it we can see the area in which we are at street level, which makes peripheral vision perfect.Well, Apple has copied this function but has improved it to the beast. The quality, detail, versatility and, above all, how easy it is to use Look Around, is amazing.
To enjoy it you will need to have iOS updated to the latest version.
This is how Look Around works in Spain and the rest of the world:
In the following video we show you how this magnificent function of the Apple maps works (When we made the video it was only enabled in the US) :
In order to see that view, we open Apple Maps and look for the place we want to see.
When we already have the place found, we zoom in on the area until an icon appears with an image with a pair of binoculars (if it does not appear, it is because it is not enabled for that place. I am sure it will be added in the future) . It will appear on the left side of the screen. If we press it, the Look Around function will be activated, as you can see in the following image.

Now we can move around the entire city:
- Scroll : Drag one finger left or right.
- Advance : Press the environment.
- Zoom in or out : Pinch your fingers together or apart.
- See another point of interest : Click anywhere else on the map.
- Switch to or exit full screen : Tap the arrow buttons.
- Hide labels in full screen view : Tap the info card at the bottom of the screen, then tap the button marked with a crossed-out eye.
Without a doubt, wonderful news that makes Apple Maps a much better application.
Greetings.
