While there aren’t many similarities amongst Apple’s twelve U.S. Look Around cities, something they do have in common is that they’ve all been visited by Apple Maps’s pedestrian imagery collection effort:

This suggests that Apple’s next Look Around areas are also likely to have been visited by Apple’s pedestrian collection effort.

In the U.S., this includes Albuquerque, Atlanta, Austin, Buffalo, Dallas, Denver, Detroit, Jacksonville, Kansas City, Miami, New Orleans, Salt Lake City, San Diego, and Tampa.

Outside of the U.S., this includes a number of locations in Italy, Portugal, and Spain, including Barcelona, Florence, Ibiza, Lisbon, Madrid, Milan, Naples, Rome, Turin, Valencia, and Venice.
