Explore immersive views in Maps on Mac
While exploring any location on a map, you can rotate the map to see an area with extra dimensions. In some locations, you can zoom in to see a detailed, 3D satellite view. Maps uses aerial imagery to render cities in true-to-life detail. To see sharp details, such as architectural fixtures or the shapes of individual trees, zoom into a 3D satellite map. Or, with Look Around, move through a 360-degree panoramic view.
