Google begins its I/O event with the announcement of some of the basic AI-driven features for some of its major apps, and Google Maps is one of them which will get these various new AI-based features.
But the most exciting feature for Google Maps is the new Immersive View which will allow you to see a more detailed view of the route just in the app. Let’s delve into more details below.
Google Maps Will Give You 3D View of the Route Just In The App
This feature is aimed to give a visualization of your selected journey without even physically going there and allows you to trace the steps from point A to B with certain information.
Besides, in this 3D view, many things will be added by Artificial Intelligence, such as on a traffic basis, there will be a number of vehicles on the virtual roads, and if the weather is foggy or rainy so you’ll see the same via AI.
With giving the view of the route, this feature is also capable of showing you weather details of selected areas from the route, and even it can show you traffic reporting at the same time.
And with experience, users are going to get likely accurate information regarding air quality, bike lanes, and nearby parking.
