<div class="field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even" property="content:encoded"><p class="intro">Apple has added a small treat for Maps (http://www.imore.com/maps-iphone-ipad) users with careful eyes. People using the 3D Flyover feature found in Maps should notice that Apple has added animations to two London landmarks: the Big Ben clock tower and the London Eye.</p> <!--break--> <p><a href='http://www.imore.com/apple-animates-two-london-landmarks-maps-3d-flyover' title="Apple animates two London landmarks in Maps 3D Flyover"><img src='http://www.imore.com/sites/imore.com/files/styles/large_wm_brw/public/field/image/2015/02/london-eye-flyover-hero.jpg?itok=mhAsazQM' />[/url]</p> <p>When viewing the Flyover tour of the London Eye, users will now be able to observe the Ferris wheel spinning. It's easiest to observe when you tap and hold on the screen to pause the Flyover. Big Ben, formally Elizabeth Tower, will display the current time in London on its clock faces.</p> <p>This feature is reportedly coming to attractions in other cities over the next few weeks, according to The Daily Mail (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-2962043/Apple-s-maps-real-bid-outdo-Google-Update-shows-correct-time-Big-Ben-reveals-London-Eye-rotating.html), though the publication didn't name any cities in particular.</p> <p>Apple has been making a number of additions and improvements to Maps recently. Earlier this week the company added Flyover support to nine more cities (http://www.imore.com/apple-adds-venice-edinburgh-and-7-more-cities-its-3d-flyover-feature-maps), and they have recently added partners (http://www.imore.com/gasbuddy-and-greatschools-are-apples-latest-maps-data-partners) to help users find lower gas prices and good schools.</p> <p>Source: The Daily Mail (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-2962043/Apple-s-maps-real-bid-outdo-Google-Update-shows-correct-time-Big-Ben-reveals-London-Eye-rotating.html)</p> </div></div></div><div id="comment-wrapper-nid-30173"></div><img width='1' height='1' src='http://tipb.com.feedsportal.com/c/33998/f/616881/s/43d435c5/sc/4/mf.gif' border='0'/><br clear='all'/>
