{{Other uses|Flyover (disambiguation){{!}}Flyover}}

'''Flyover''' is a feature on [[Apple Maps]] that allows users to view certain areas in a [[3D scanning|3D setting]]. Flyover also allows users to take "tours" of these locations through the City Tours feature, showcasing various landmarks in the area. Imagery is provided through the use of drones, which collect fine data on buildings.

Initially founded in 2012, along with Apple Maps itself, Flyover now covers over 300 cities, landmarks, and [[national parks|parks]] across five of the six inhabited continents through a series of several expansions, notably in 2014, 2015 and 2019. Despite earlier issues, Flyover has been praised for its detail and uniqueness.<ref name="auto5">{{Cite web|last=Bell|first=Karissa|url=https://mashable.com/article/apple-maps-flyover|title=Watch out Google Earth, Apple Maps has a hidden VR-like 'flyover' mode|date=28 June 2017 |publisher=Mashable|accessdate=18 November 2023}}</ref>

===2016 - present===
2016 saw Apple add Flyover to around 20 additional cities, including cities such as [[Adelaide]] in Australia and the [[Virgin Islands]], with the majority of the new cities being smaller ones, as only two of the cities that received Flyover that year had over a million people.<ref name="auto2"/><ref>{{Cite web|last=Lovejoy|first=Ben|url=https://9to5mac.com/2016/02/04/apple-maps-flyover-locations/|title=Apple Maps adds 5 new U.S. Flyover locations, 15 more international ones|publisher=9to5Mac|accessdate=9 November 2023}}</ref>

Flyover was added to 7 cities in 2018, those being the cities of [[Karlsruhe]] and [[Kiel]] in Germany, [[Braga]] in Portugal, [[San Juan, Puerto Rico|San Juan]] in Puerto Rico, [[Cadiz]] and [[Jerez de la Frontera]] in Spain, and [[Kingston-upon-Hull|Hull]] in the United Kingdom.<ref>{{Cite web|last=Lee|first=Cody|url=https://www.idownloadblog.com/2015/06/24/apple-maps-7-new-flyover-spots/|title=Apple adds 7 new Flyover locations to Maps|date=24 June 2015 |publisher=iDownloadBlog|accessdate=26 October 2023}}</ref>

2019 saw Apple's biggest Flyover expansion, with the feature being added to over 30 cities in France, Japan, the United States, and others, as well as the entirety of the nation of [[Monaco]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.macrumors.com/2019/01/08/apple-maps-flyover-mall-locations/|title=Apple Maps Gains New Indoor Mall Maps and Flyover Locations|date=8 January 2019 |publisher=MacRumors|accessdate=12 September 2023}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://9to5mac.com/2019/01/08/apple-maps-flyover-updated-locations/|title=New Flyover and indoor maps locations now available in Apple Maps|publisher=9to5mac|accessdate=6 November 2023}}</ref>

After 2019 and during the [[COVID-19 pandemic]], relatively little progress was made with the feature, largely in favor of working on the newer [[Apple Look Around|Look Around]]. However, Apple added some new Flyovers during and since then, expanding to [[Amsterdam]] in 2020<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.macrumors.com/2020/09/03/apple-maps-transit-3d-view-portugal-netherlands/|title=Apple Maps Expands Public Transit Information and 3D View in Portugal and the Netherlands|date=3 September 2020 |publisher=MacRumors|accessdate=12 September 2023}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|last=Neely|first=Amber|url=https://appleinsider.com/articles/20/09/03/apple-maps-now-has-3d-images-in-amsterdam-transit-information-in-portugal|title=Apple Maps now has 3D images in Amsterdam, transit information in Portugal|date=3 September 2020 |publisher=Apple Insider|accessdate=6 November 2023}}</ref> and [[Vienna]] in 2023.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.oe24.at/oesterreich/chronik/wien-bald-in-3d-apple-maps-vermisst-hauptstadt/520804076|title=Wien bald in 3D: Apple Maps vermisst Hauptstadt (in German)|date=June 2022 |publisher=oe24|accessdate=12 September 2023}}</ref>

With Flyover, certain locations – mostly big cities, landmarks and some national parks – can be seen from a birds-eye perspective. The three-dimensional views are photo-realistic, and users can change the vantage point on the map.<ref name="Maps">{{Cite web |title=Apple: Maps |url=https://www.apple.com/ios/maps/ |access-date=December 30, 2015}}</ref>

Flyover imagery has been viewed as similar to that of [[virtual reality]], and could possibly be a precursor to a VR feature on Maps.<ref name="auto5"/><ref>{{Cite web|last=Elliott|first=Matt|url=https://www.cnet.com/tech/mobile/take-awesome-vr-tours-with-apple-maps-flyover-feature/|title=Take awesome VR tours with Apple Map's Flyover feature|publisher=CNET|accessdate=18 November 2023}}</ref>

=== City Tours ===
Flyover City Tours were released around 2014, but was inaccessible for a time until the feature was debugged by an Apple Maps developer, making it public.<ref name="auto4"/> City Tours is a feature that allows users to view various landmarks in a given city via a "flying" animation,<ref name="auto5"/> a feature only available to cities that already contain Flyover 3D maps.<ref name="AppleToolBox">{{Cite web|url=https://appletoolbox.com/what-is-the-flyover-feature-in-apple-maps/|title=What Is the Flyover Feature in Apple Maps?|date=29 March 2023 |publisher=AppleToolBox|accessdate=12 September 2023}}</ref> City Tours was added as a feature to Apple Maps on [[iOS 8]] on September 17, 2014, and in [[OS X Yosemite]] on October 16, 2014.<ref>{{Cite web|last=Slivka|first=Eric|url=https://www.macrumors.com/2014/09/07/flyover-city-tours/|title=Apple Filling Out Flyover City Tours Ahead of iOS 8 and OS X Yosemite Launches|date=7 September 2014 |publisher=MacRumors|accessdate=17 November 2023}}</ref>

== Controversy ==
===Errors===
Similar to Maps itself, Flyover saw many visual issues upon release, a notable one containing a massive glitch on the [[Brooklyn Bridge|Brooklyn]] and [[Anzac Bridge|Anzac]] Bridges, showing "plunges" on both structures.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.forbes.com/sites/petercohan/2012/09/27/apple-maps-six-most-epic-fails/|title=Apple Maps' Six Most Epic Fails|work=Forbes|accessdate=19 October 2023}}</ref> This was part of a larger series of technical issues with Apple Maps, most of which have since been fixed.

===Security concerns===

In 2013, the Norwegian government denied a request by Apple to add Flyover to [[Oslo]], the Norwegian capital, citing security concerns arising from the amount of detail given to buildings, information which could potentially be used to facilitate and carry out terrorist attacks.<ref name="auto">{{Cite news|last=Dewey|first=Caitlin|url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/worldviews/wp/2013/08/13/why-norway-is-blocking-apple-maps-from-taking-3d-images-of-oslo/|title=Why Norway is blocking Apple Maps from taking 3D images of Oslo|newspaper=The Washington Post|accessdate=12 September 2023}}</ref><ref name="auto7">{{Cite web|last=Gates|first=Sara|url=https://www.huffpost.com/entry/norway-blocks-apple-3d-mapping-flyover-oslo_n_3743600|title=
