  "textContent": "The Maps app didn't get as many iOS 27 updates as some of Apple's other apps, but there are still several useful features worth knowing about.\n\n\n\n\n## Flyover Improvements\n\n\nApple is upgrading Flyover in ‌iOS 27‌, making it more detailed than before. It combines aerial imagery with Vision Intelligence models to add more texture and sharper visuals for trees, architecture, and more.\n\n\nApple says select cities around the world are rendered in sharper, more lifelike detail with improvements to everything from the \"shapes of individual trees to the way light reflects off the glass of skyscrapers.\"\n\nFlyover is an Apple Maps feature that offers detailed 3D landmarks, roads, parks, buildings, and more in more than 350 cities. The current version of Flyover uses aerial imagery captured by planes, but the new ‌iOS 27‌ version improves the quality using AI.\n\n\n\n## New Maps Icon\n\n\nApple updated several of its Liquid Glass app icons in ‌iOS 27‌ to add more glass-like layers. Icons have more depth, and the Maps app icon makes the difference especially clear.\n\n\n\n## Local Lists\n\n\nLocal Lists uses intelligent insights from what's trending around you for suggestions on places you should visit. Maps surfaces locally relevant collections of places to make it easier to find popular and interesting locations to visit.\n\n\nLocal Lists is privacy-focused and does not use information tied to individual users. It is a U.S.-only feature.\n\n\n\n## Trending Restaurants\n\n\nIn the Search interface, there's a Trending Restaurants section that shows you the top restaurants in the area you're in.\n\n\n\n\n## Natural Language Search Expansion\n\n\nNatural language search in Maps now lets you ask for directions that avoid toll roads or highways.\n\n\n\n## Widgets\n\n\nOn the Apple Watch, there's a new Parked Car widget in the Smart Stack so you can easily see your car's last known location, with info synced from the iPhone.\n\n\n\n## Offline Maps\n\n\nApple says Offline Maps have improved in ‌iOS 27‌. More locations are shown on the map, labels are darker and clearer, and there are icons that are easier to view at a glance. When you tap on a location, like a town, it will zoom into the area automatically so you can see what's there.\n\n\n\n## Visited Places\n\n\nThe Visited Places feature is more accurate in ‌iOS 27‌ and less likely to miss locations. Visited Places keeps track of locations you've been to, organizing stops by category and location. It's accessible by tapping on your profile picture, choosing Places, and selecting Visited Places.\n\n\nVisited Places is also expanding to more locations in ‌iOS 27‌.\n\n\n\n## More iOS 27 Features\n\n\nFor more on what's new in ‌iOS 27‌, we have a dedicated roundup.\n\nRelated Roundups: iOS 27, iPadOS 27\n\nTag: Apple Maps\n\n\nThis article, \"iOS 27: All the New Apple Maps Features\" first appeared on MacRumors.com\n\nDiscuss this article in our forums\n\n",
