A man wearing an Apple Maps camera backpack was spotted walking down a road for the app's Look Around feature.

Marti Blagborough, 32, noticed a man carrying a large backpack with a big 360-degree camera attached to the top, sporting the Apple Maps logo.

The man was on Burton Road in Beeston, Leeds, on Monday (June 16), as Marti was on his way to pick up his children from school.

According to Apple, they use pedestrians with backpacks for Apple Maps image collection when roads are inaccessible by vehicle or for capturing Look Around images.

Since this street is easily accessible by car, the pedestrian was likely capturing images specifically for the Look Around feature, which provides users with a 360-degree panoramic view.

Apple confirms on its website that pedestrian cameras have been operating across areas in Leeds from May 2, 2025, and will continue until July 4.

Marti, a printing business owner based in Leeds, said: "I stopped and took the video because I thought it was so unusual."

"I have only ever seen cars doing the mapping for Apple and Google."

"Surely a car is far more productive as it covers ground much faster."
