Apple's answer to Google Street View is limited in its current capacity, but useful nonetheless. Based on the areas that currently support Look Around in the beta, it seems like Apple Maps will offer high-resolution imagery with navigation controls that feel even smoother than Google's.
When trying out the feature while looking around the area near the Civic Center in San Francisco, I was impressed by how easy it was to jump between locations with Look Around, even if I wasn't following a straight path. I could, for example, hop over to a block running perpendicular to the street I'm currently viewing with just a single tap. The movements also look more seamless and fluid in Look Around than in Street View.
