Apple Maps Redesign Expands to Denmark and Greece

Apple today announced that its revamped Maps app is rolling out in Denmark and Greece.

Apple Maps update denmark
The new experience provides more detail, improved navigation, custom-designed 3D models of popular landmarks, immersive turn-by-turn walking directions powered by augmented reality, and more.

Look Around, which was first introduced in iOS 13, is also expanding to both countries starting today. Look Around provides 3D street-level imagery in cities where it is available, and it is similar to Google's Street View.

Apple users in the above countries received notifications of the rollout this morning, and Apple Maps expert Justin O'Beirne also catalogued the expansion.

This is the twentieth time that Apple has expanded its new map data since its public launch in September 2018. It has since expanded to the U.K., Ireland, Canada, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, France, Germany, and select other countries and territories.

Greece was probably prioritized due to being a popular tourist destination rather than being an important market for Apple ;)

And yet none of these features are available in northern NJ. Can Apple PLEASE focus on something other than urban areas for a change?
