Sorry. Is DCE the same as look around?Yep…has been a week now. Please see a few posts above.
Is anybody else randomly losing the ability to make "reports" while navigating on CarPlay?
I hit the arrow button this evening to bring up the menu, but my only options were to add a stop or share my ETA.
When I got home, the report function had returned.

So it seems everyone is getting these glitches now where Maps is randomly highlighting random baggage claim carousels across the country.
Think they're finally working on back-end changes for future updates that's causing this?

That’s the first thing I thought when the glitches started up…and of course, people complaining about how bad Maps is…I mean, randomly showing a few baggage claim POI’s here and one in Spain dramatically affected people using Maps.
Apple released the DCE in Stockholm.
Apple has released the DCE in Copenhagen and full Look Around coverage in Ireland.
Something that stood out for me was reading about some of Ireland’s Look Around imagery…and that apparently some of it is from 2019. That…is disappointing.
My hopes for more releases in the US are going up again! But, speaking for my area, if Apple releases it Look Around with imagery from 2019…it will be horribly out of date. We have had quite a large amount of residential development. New roads. Businesses that have come and gone (especially during the Covid years). Meanwhile, Google Street View has been updated with new imagery 5 times since 2019…and of those, 2 of them happened in the same year.

That’s a great way to show that.
I know some of these images seem pretty old, but to me, it just goes to show that they had a lot of work on the back end to make this happen.
Updated imagery should be easier to add once the program as a whole is implemented. I’m guessing the same thing may happen in the US, but it would be a big miss in my opinion if they didn’t at least introduce imagery less than 3 years old or newer once they finally launch country wide LookAround in the US (…this Summer..:right?…:RIGHT????)
