Satellite view

And that's not all. You can switch to a satellite view (nothing new there). But in some cities, like central London, Sydney, San Francisco, a small icon of 3D buildings appears. Tap this and you're in Flyover - a gorgeous, photo-realistic overhead viewpoint of a particular area. Exactly how useful this is may be open to debate, though it could help you get your bearings in the places it covers. Mostly, though, it's just eye candy. Nothing wrong with that, mind.
