Apple’s WWDC 2022 keynote speech is underway and we’ve already gotten a good look at iOS 16, the next installment of the iPhone’s operating system. And with the iOS 16 update comes some much-needed improvements to Apple Maps.

To kick off the Maps upgrades, Apple is expanding the flyover feature in Apple Maps to several different cities.
