Apple Maps gets upgraded in Dallas and Houston

• Apple Maps hasn't always been as user-friendly as its competitors, but it has come a long way.

Details: The new Apple Maps features released last week include more detailed navigation graphics showing turn lanes, trees, medians, bus lanes and crosswalks.

• Certain landmarks, like the Dallas Museum of Art and AT&T Stadium, have a 3D appearance on the app, and they look even cooler in the nighttime view.
• Houston maps will show landmarks like Waterwall Park, Space Center Houston and Minute Maid Park, with details like the Astros' home run train and Space Shuttle Independence.
• Other new features show traffic conditions and the best lane for an approaching exit.

Of note: The Dallas area is also getting a Look Around feature that Houston has, showing street-level images of landmarks like the ones Google Maps already has.

What's next: Anyone with Apple Maps and iOS 15 or higher will automatically receive the enhanced navigation system update.
