I'm on the normal, public 15.1.1. Everything is fine on my end. Camera angles still bizarre sometimes on CarPlay, and I've discovered that buildings will show on certain sections of certain highways, but never on others.
My Apple Maps crashing seems to have sorted itself. There was a local cell outage today for one of our major networks which may have contributed to the issue.
I now seem to have Look Around for Sydney Australia. A welcomed addition.

All of Australia seems to be covered, with dates ranging as far back as November 2019
Looks like not every single road has been mapped - ie unsealed/dirt roads aren't covered.

I see…there’s no option for viewing Look Around from the map itself, but you can access the footage if you drop a pin. Neat!
Looks like the new map for Australia, as well as their Look Around, will launch alongside iOS 15.2 on Monday! (Or Tuesday. Or Wednesday. Or two weeks from now.)

So….there’s still hope that the rest of the USA is launched next week? 
Once they get that tiny continent/country out of the way….

Those were there before. 3D buildings were in the major cities and then will show up everywhere over the next 12 hours probably.
Just arrived on my Mac
Looks like we also get labels in Look Around in the capital cities, eg this is Sydney - screenshots -

Yep can see 3D properly everywhere now. Noticed that we don’t have speed limits in suburban roads (where it’s usually 50kmh) but have them elsewhere. Wonder if they’re just missing
Apple Maps will typically not show them unless there is a sign designating the speed limit.
Hard restart and I’m seeing everything now!
Ah interesting. Most of our smaller roads & rural roads don’t have signs as they’re just an assumed speed limit. TomTom manages to show the limits even in smaller roads which is interesting tooApple Maps will typically not show them unless there is a sign designating the speed limit.

One thing that doesn't seem fixed since I had a peek at my mate who was in the test a few weeks - many traffic lights are displaying as STOP signs instead of traffic lights when getting directions.
I *think* it's because they've picked up the stop sign as well as the lights, and stop takes priority?
For example ,this is actually a set of traffic lights at this intersection

Which looks like this in the real world
Boy…you think Apple would have an answer for that. I’m not sure what that answer is though.
Sounds about right for Sydney ?A lot of damn traffic in Sydney right now…and some accidents reported.
I now have the new Maps for Australia as well! Not sure what’s happening here:
Just realised I can use Look Around for the actual example!
Intersections like this appear as stop signs in Apple Maps, not as traffic lights (which they primarily are).
But the camera/AI must have decided it should be a stop sign instead
And I have no idea how to report it....
I think if I had to show one or the other, I would prefer the sign as well, but if I’m making a right turn across traffic, I would rather hear, “make a right at the next light” on Maps.
I get why it is there (we have the same rule in the USA), but the traffic light is probably “more correct.”
