Apple brings detailed city maps to Canada

Better driving navigation, transit directions, and an augmented reality walking experience are some of the things that will be offered by Apple Maps in Canada. The new city experience is available in Montreal, Toronto, and Vancouver. In the US, the feature was available in Los Angeles, New York, Philadelphia, San Diego, San Francisco, and Washington, D.C.

It is a welcome expansion. The only real issue with the enhanced mapping experience was its limited availability. 3D models of major landmarks are included in the software, as well as improvements to how cities look in it. These improvements help with driving directions by showing more detail about which road lanes to use.

Improvements in the cities will be seen in the directions for public transit. When you disembark, Apple Maps will give you a notification, as well as user interface improvements that allow users to pin their favorite transit lines to make their preferred routes more easily available. Walkers can get step-by-step directions in augmented reality and cyclists can get directions in Montreal.
