Apple, upcoming 2025 Monaco Grand Prix and F1: The Movie Within the scope of the introduction of the film, Apple presented a comprehensive “Detailed City Experience” update for Monaco. This update allows users to discover the city as 3D, including Monte Carlo’s iconic structures and Formula 1 runway.
With this update, the race route on the streets of Monte Carlo is shown more closely to iPhone and iPad users with real -time information. Important structures and track details throughout the city are supported by high resolution models. The update is prepared for both those who will physically participate in the race and users who will follow remotely. In this way, users can digitally experience the event through Apple maps.
New maps experience includes not only Monaco’s runway, but also the prominent icon structures. Casino de Monte-Carlo, Hôtel de Paris Monte-Carlo and Yacht Port are modeled in detail. Users can examine these regions with both day and night visuals. Thanks to the update, lighting, architectural details and environmental elements are clearly shown more clearly. These details are offered within the framework of Apple’s detailed city experience.
The runway route is made on the map with a light red line with the update. The streets, turns and plains where the race pass are marked in detail. However, items such as tribunes, barriers and finish line, which are temporarily placed for the race day, are also shown on the map. These features help visitors to find direction, especially before the race. In addition, the closing of the road to be applied throughout the event will be reflected in real -time maps.
Apple combines Formula 1 racing runway with digital map experience
Apple considers this update not only as a map improvement, but also an extension of the Formula 1 -themed content strategy. According to the company’s statement, special map contents are being developed in such large -scale events to increase user experience. Previously, a similar approach was implemented for Las Vegas Grand Prix and Paris 2024 Olympics. This last step towards the Monaco Grand Prix is remarkable in terms of showing the dynamic structure of the maps application and the ability to integrate with activities.
The Monaco Grand Prix will be held between 23-25 May 2025. The update aims to be commissioned about 10 days before the race and both local users and tourists are prepared to be prepared for the event. Human traffic, which will concentrate on the track, can be managed more safer and more organized by these digital routing. For this reason, Apple Maps are not only a navigation tool, but also a platform role in activity planning.
The 3D experience in Maps is a product of the advanced map engine that Apple introduces with iOS 15. This engine can show building heights, trees, road level elements and shadow details. In narrow city areas such as Monaco, these details offer the user a more realistic city ride. However, in order to fully benefit from this experience, a new version of iOS 17 or more on Apple devices must be installed.
Another remarkable part of this update is F1: The Movie The new film is carried out simultaneously with the promotional process. This film, starring Brad Pitt, will be broadcast via Apple TV+. However, Apple is planning a limited screening in cinema halls for this production. With the update, a special guide section has been presented for the tracks in the film at Apple Maps. Thus, users will be able to explore not only Monaco but also other important slopes on the map.
Apple’s Senior Vice President of Services Eddy Cue, said in a statement that this update brings users more closely with important events in the world. CUE said that they aim to build a bridge between both physical and digital participation. He said that such innovations have transformed the maps application from a classic navigation service into a versatile city discovery tool. In spite of everything, it should not be forgotten that such features are not yet presented for every city.
This detailed track and city experience, which Apple Maps offer for Monaco, brings the visual dynamics of Formula 1 to the mobile platform. Even users who cannot be found on the day of the event can visit the location, structure and environment of the runway virtually. However, real -time road closure information provides a serious planning advantage in terms of city traffic. This approach is expected to become widespread in similar activities in the coming period.
During the race week, how wide this 3D experience will be used is already a matter of curiosity. User feedback and usage data will be effective in determining which scale Apple will invest in similar projects in the future. In addition, Apple Maps’ strategy to digitize city and activity experiences, takes one step further the interaction between technology and daily life.
