Apple has been progressively improving its Maps app over the years.

It was launched in 2012 to replace Google Maps as the default on iPhones.

The service initially suffered some embarrassing errors, prompting a rare apology from the company.

Since then, the app has made leaps and bounds.

As part of iOS 15 Apple Maps went 3D, showing some of the world's most famous landmarks in incredible quality.

Augmented reality directions were also added, allowing users to see arrows on a live screen of the street they're on via their iPhone camera.

Last year, advanced cycling options were introduced too.

As for the new parking feature, Apple will have to find different partners if it wants to expand the idea internationally.
