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 But, speaking for my area, if Apple releases it Look Around with imagery from 2019…it will be horribly out of date.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????)
Almost time for me to copy/paste/update the first post for WWDC and iOS26 to pin to the next iOS update here on MacRumors…any suggestions or new/improved info?
If we’re missing anything thing from that first post from an info standpoint, please update as you see fit so it is correct as possible when we start the new thread.
Thanks!

Ireland had full coverage of look around, Monaco has the DCE, and Thailand has the New Map Data.
Can you update the first post? It's a WikiPost
Edit: Ireland is listed in LookAround from Oct-2020?? I'm guessing it had updated or more since then? But it is listed.
Updates made....thanks!

Anyone else catch the WWDC presentation?
A few things mentioned with Maps. CarPlay will receive a slight makeover with the new liquid glass look. Widgets will now be supported within CarPlay, and phone calls will no longer take over the whole screen while navigating.
For Maps specifically, your phone will now better learn your daily routines, and even suggest routes that take into consideration multiple stops. Maps will also alert you ahead of time when unusual traffic could delay your arrival at a destination you regularly visit, even when you don't have a route active. Maps will also (privately) keep track of locations you've visited, in case you'd like to someday share a place with someone.
Of additional note, during all footage that showed an activate route in Maps, the camera view was zoomed way in behind the vehicle, similar to how it looks when about to exit a highway when driving in an area with DCE. Makes me wonder if they're planning some visual changes to how routes are displayed later this year.

And new incident report types
Apple Maps on iOS18 decided to freak out today on my drive to work and instead of having me turn left at a full controlled intersection to go the way I needed to go (on a route I do frequently) it told me to turn right and make a U-turn at the next stop light to get to my route.
