Behind the lens. In the explorer, when the app knows which way a photo was taken, a new 3D button flies the map to a satellite view of the terrain, centred on the spot where you stood and looking the way you were looking. Ridges, valleys, the lake you were shooting: the landscape of that photo, from above and behind your shoulder. A small north indicator now sits above the bottom panel, in both the flat map and the 3D view, so you never lose your bearings while turning the map.

Elevation filter, rebuilt. It now covers everything within your distance range, all around you, not only what the camera is looking at; the scale is in metres from where you stand, so a rooftop 150 m above you gets the room it deserves; and a place with photos at very different heights, like a skyscraper, is now one pin at the foot and one at the top. The turn arrow also guides you when you look for a single photo from the map, and it is larger there. Once in a while, after you have explored a few places, the app may ask you to rate it. Just once, and never on the first day.

A turn arrow. When you have places around you but none in front of the camera, a glass arrow now points toward the nearest one and turns with you. It nudges while the phone is still and fades away as soon as a place enters the view. Take a photo where you stand and it shows up right away, in the middle of the screen. The distance filter now shows what lies beyond your range, greyed out, so you know there is more to see.

A turn arrow. When you have places around you but none in front of the camera, a glass arrow now points left or right toward the nearest one. It nudges while the phone is still and fades away as soon as a place enters the view. Fixed a freeze on launch that could hit large iCloud photo libraries after a few weeks without opening the app, and that only a reinstall would clear. More accurate pin placement toward the edges of the screen.

Just bug fixes
