New York (CNN) Apple's redesigned maps service has rolled out across the United States, giving users more accurate navigation and "comprehensive views" of roads, buildings, malls and more. Google Maps and Waze, which are both owned by Google, have long been fan favorites when it comes to maps apps, while Apple has trailed behind. The company rebuilt the Maps app from the ground up by sending hundreds of planes and cars with custom and lidar sensors over four million miles of the country, it announced last year. Apple says the new Maps app will come to Europe in coming months. As part of the redesign, Apple Maps added a few features already offered by Google Maps: You can save locations quickly under favorite and use interactive street view, which Apple dubbed "look around."
