A thread to collect the weird and interesting images found in Apple's new Look Around feature in Apple Maps!

Saw this on Reddit...Apple is not only blocking out human faces, but dogs and faces on newspapers as well...hah!

Not sure how widespread this is...just noticed it with the first freeway I checked out.

Look Around available from both the inside and outside lanes at the same location.

Apparently, the Apple Van also pulls over on the side of the road sometimes...


On the road...

...same spot except pulled off the side of the road...

Some more playing around by Apple Park. Every single lane on the roads has its own image.

At the Apple Park entrance, one can be either in the North or South lane as well as the turn lanes (even though the roads inside Apple Park are not mapped.)

Very curious as to the application of these images for all the lanes...and seriously amazed that they have them! That means the Apple van either drove both ways on every street or that the software can visually show the position of the van that way in a seamless manner.

Either way, I continue to be blown away by Loom Around and can’t wait to see the expansion into other areas.

Edit - for turn lanes, it does look like it is software based. I can see the same van in front of me no matter which lane I am in.
