I Can't Make It to the F1 Monaco Grand Prix, but Apple Maps Will Help Me Feel Like I'm There

I won't get to experience the noise and heat of the real-life Formula One Monaco Grand Prix race in person on May 23-25, but following along at home will take on an added dimension due to a new Apple Maps update. Fueling interest in the legendary race and its upcoming F1 The Movie release, Apple has created a Detailed City Experience for the principality of Monte Carlo, Monaco, that features details surrounding the event. That includes more detailed 3D renderings of landmarks such as the Casino de Monte-Carlo and Hotel de Paris Monte-Carlo, with day and night-lit versions. More significantly, the race course itself is marked on the map in light red to give you an idea of how this storied race winds directly through the streets and buildings of Monte Carlo. In addition to the F1 race course, the Apple Maps renderings of Monaco now include far more visual detail.
