Belgium, The Netherlands, Luxembourg, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, and Israel have received full Look Around coverage.

Meanwhile, just four cities seem to have received the enhanced version of Look Around that includes POI labels: Amsterdam, Brussels, Luxembourg City, and Vaduz.




APPLE’S NEXT EXPANSION


Apple is likeliest to expand next to Sweden, Norway, Finland, and Denmark.

Taiwan and Austria also have particularly high chances of receiving expansions over the next six months.

(Note: An earlier version of this page also listed Japan as a likely expansion candidate for 2023. This was a transcription error meant to say “Taiwan”. I’m not expecting Apple to expand its proprietary map data to Japan for at least the next couple of years.)
