Apple Maps scores indoor maps for over 20 shopping malls and airports around the world
Apple Maps has just been graced with detailed indoor maps for over 20 shopping malls and airports across the US, Denmark, Singapore, Hong Kong, and Canada. With the newly-scored functionality, users will be able to zoom in and explore the layouts of the supported venues. Restaurants, shops, fast-food joints, and most other venues will be displayed for your convenience at the mall, as well as service areas like restrooms, elevators, and stairs.
In airports, you will be able to view terminals, boarding gates, and check-in areas, which is definitely an extremely useful functionality that can potentially save you a lot of woes while before your next flight.
As pointed out by MacRumors, you can make use of the feature by zooming on the location in question and tapping on the "Look inside" button that will appear.
