Apple Maps brings a custom Detailed City Experience to the Formula 1 Grand Prix de Monaco – Apple

Monaco Detailed City Experience

The new Detailed City Experience features custom-designed 3D Monégasque landmarks of iconic locations, including Casino de Monte-Carlo, Fairmont Monte Carlo, Hôtel de Paris Monte-Carlo, Yacht Club de Monaco, and the F1 Paddock Club. Dark mode gives users an evening view of Monaco in a moonlit glow that activates at dusk.

The Detailed City Experience also features amazing details for road markings, land cover, trees, and public transit routes, as well as helpful navigation details like turn lanes, medians, bus and bike lanes, and pedestrian crossings. It also features a windshield view for drivers, which shows a road-level view as a user approaches complex interchanges, making it easier to see upcoming traffic conditions or the best lane for an approaching exit.

F1 The Movie Custom Guide

In celebration of next month’s release of Apple Original Films’ F1 The Movie, Maps users can also explore a custom Guide featuring the world’s most iconic F1 racetracks, including Monaco and other tracks featured in the film.

Hailing from Apple Studios, F1 The Movie is Apple Original Films’ highly anticipated Formula 1 feature film starring Brad Pitt, and from director Joseph Kosinski, Jerry Bruckheimer Films, Plan B Entertainment, and seven-time Formula 1 world champion Lewis Hamilton’s Dawn Apollo Films banner.

Dubbed “the greatest that never was,” Sonny Hayes (Brad Pitt) was Formula 1’s most promising phenom of the 1990s until an accident on the track nearly ended his career. Thirty years later, he’s a nomadic racer-for-hire when he’s approached by his former teammate Ruben Cervantes (Javier Bardem), owner of a struggling Formula 1 team that is on the verge of collapse. Ruben convinces Sonny to come back to Formula 1 for one last shot at saving the team and being the best in the world. He’ll drive alongside Joshua Pearce (Damson Idris), the team’s hotshot rookie intent on setting his own pace. But as the engines roar, Sonny’s past catches up with him, and he finds that in Formula 1, your teammate is your fiercest competition — and the road to redemption is not something you can travel alone.

Pictures, starting June 25 internationally, and June 27 in North America.
