A few days ago Apple seeded the second beta of iOS 8 to developers and there was many features we’ve spotted like a new maps feature called “Flyover City Tours”. It is a hidden feature that takes users on virtual 3D Flyover tours over major cities.
This weekend, it was discovered that City Tours is actually available in the public UI of iOS 8, meaning anyone with the latest version of the developer beta can try it out. Getting to the feature is a little involved, but we’ll show you how to do it below…
To begin a City Tour, make sure your Maps app is in ‘Hybrid’ mode and navigate to a major city like New York, San Francisco, Rome or Paris. Cities compatible with the feature will be highlighted in yellow, and show a ‘Flyover City’ option when tapped.
Have you tried this new feature ?
