Apple expands Maps Flyover coverage to 20 cities in Europe, Japan and more
Apple on Tuesday updated its Maps Flyover availability webpage to reflect the addition of 21 cities including multiple destinations in France and a handful of sites in Mexico, among others.
The Normandy American Cemetery and Memorial in France.
The additions come as part of an ongoing project to build out Apple's mapping service, which boasts 3D Flyover views as a standout feature in comparison to competing offerings like Google Maps.
Aside from Flyover, Apple is slowly introducing new features to its in-house mapping solution, one of the more recent highlights being transit directions in iOS 9. In February, Apple revealed a ground-based initiative that uses vans to collect what appears to be image and positioning data, hinting at a potential Google Street View competitor.
Apple last updated Flyover in June with the addition of seven cities in Spain, Germany, UK and Puerto Rico.

How about Ferguson?
More like how long will it STILL take them to get to the cities with populations of 1,000,000+ like Amsterdam, Netherlands, Brussels, Belgium, Prague, Czech Republic, Vienna, Austria, Philadelphia, PA and other big cities like D.C., Los Angeles, CA, San Diego, CA, Miami, FL, Orlando, FL, Dallas, TX, Houston, TX,... I mean how many more people are likely to check out LA, DC or Miami than Somewhere, Puerto Rico?!
Many of the cities you listed DO have Flyover. Such as LA, San Diego etc.

Not true. Many of the cities you listed DO have Flyover. Such as LA, San Diego etc.
What is flyover used for in a practical application? I am from an area with little population so would have no need for it but I am very curious what people are using it for...I can assume for navigation related things such as becoming familiar with an area...Open to thoughts.
Have you thought about authorization ? Low flying a plane/drone over cities probably requires a certain amount of negotiation.
Not sure if you were responding to me, but yes, I remember seeing somewhere that airspace logistics were a hurdle which can vary in difficulty getting over by location.

No, sorry i was not clear it was not you but guiguihip ranting about who wants to see ... I would imagine some BIG cities are the hardest.
