Alan, an ardent smartphone enthusiast and a veteran writer at PhoneArena since 2009, has witnessed and chronicled the transformative years of mobile technology. Owning iconic phones from the original iPhone to the iPhone 15 Pro Max, he has seen smartphones evolve into a global phenomenon.
The frustratingly slow pace of Apple Maps' detailed city experience updates is causing many drivers using an iPhone to stick with Google Maps instead of switching to Apple Maps. The detailed city experience is supposed to feature 3D maps, crosswalks, sidewalks, medians, and more.has been quietly expanding the DCE maps experience to more countries outside the U.S. as the latest city to get such treatment is Stockholm, Sweden.
The detailed city experience for Stockholm features 17 buildings in 3D, each with highly detailed features like crosswalks, sidewalks, and even trees. Apple hasn't made an announcement about the latest city it selected to receive DCE mapping and it plans on keeping quiet about any more cities getting updated in the future.
Apple seems to be choosing which cities receive the DCE treatment without giving it much thought. This, combined with how long it is taking Apple to bring the detailed city experience to additional cities, has given some iPhone users a reason to stay connected with Google Maps for their long term navigational needs.
And if you do find that you prefer Apple Maps to Google Maps, you can now use the former even if you own an. It might not be as smooth as using the Apple Maps app on iOS but it will still get you where you want to go quickly, and most of all, safely. Go to https://maps.apple.com/ to access it. Beyond smartphones, Alan has covered the emergence of tablets, smartwatches, and smart speakers.
