It took Apple a long008 Archives long time to properly bring Apple Maps to the web, but the version that we got in July was...well, adequate. You could use it to search for places, explore the map or get directions, but advanced features such as Look Around, Apple's version of Google Maps' Street View, were missing.
Well, Apple recently rectified this omission.
SEE ALSO: Apple is finally getting serious about foldable devices, reports sayAs noticed by Chris Carley (via 9to5Mac) Apple Maps beta now has Look Around, which shows up as a small binoculars icon in the bottom left corner of the map. Click it, and you get a small window showing you the surroundings in a 360-degree, panoramic view. You can extend that window to cover the entire area of the map. Inside the Look Around view, you can click and drag with your mouse to turn around, zoom in and out with a pinch gesture on your trackpad, or double tap anywhere to move the camera forward.

On Apple Maps, you have to activate Look Around, and then click on a precise location on the map to see the surroundings there. Also, Apple Maps lets you move around in smaller increments, which can be useful if you need to check something in a very precise location, such as a street number.
Unlike Street View, Apple's Look Around is not available just about anywhere; you'll find it in some cities in the U.S., most of Europe, the UK, Japan, and Israel, to name a few places. For a full list, check Apple's website.
The feature works in Chrome, Edge, Firefox, and Safari; you can check it out on Apple Maps.
