To use the flyover feature, start Apple Maps on your iOS device, and go to a city that has 3D flyover support. Turn on Satellite or Hybrid view, then tap the info button and choose Show 3D Map. You can now zoom in and scroll around and enjoy the 3D view of the area.

The Flyover featured debuted three years ago, and Apple has steadily added new cities to the feature ever since. There have been over 40 new cities added since December, 20 new cities were added in March alone.
