The 3D Flyover feature of Apple Maps on the Mac and in iOS is a fun way to view a city. By using the 3D textures of buildings rendered from actual flyover photography, you can get a little tour of the major sights.
Thanks for another amazing iPhone feature. Love it

Hi Gary,
It would really help the functionality of Flyover if Apple provided a clickable icon that brought up a list of locations that had Flyover. Or, even better, a world map with a labeled icon next to every Flyover location. Have you heard any rumors of this feature being added to Flyover?
I suspect there are other websites that try to keep an up-to-date list of Flyover locations. Maybe your readers know of others.

Hi guys,
The link for the full list of cities is also on Apple's website is at http://www.apple.com/ios/feature-availability/#maps-flyover and you can scroll up from there for the full schedule of all iOS8 features. I haven't yet found an Apple webpage for OS X with the Maps Flyover list, but the iOS link works well.

I haven't heard any rumors about that, no. Perhaps Apple is waiting for a more impressive list of cities before developing something like that.
Hi Gary,
I did a very quick Google search and came up with this web site that tries to keep a current list of all Flyover locations.

Not sure what the issue could be. Have you tried other cities? Are you using the latest versions of everything?
