Google Maps Introduces ‘Immersive View’ Feature in 4 Cities, Over 500 Landmarks
Immersive View, a feature of Google Maps, has been introduced in four additional cities, namely Amsterdam, Dublin, Florence, and Venice. Moreover, the feature has been extended to more than 500 renowned landmarks worldwide, including Prague Castle and the Sydney Harbour Bridge, on both Android and iOS platforms.
Earlier this year, Google released Immersive View, a feature that uses artificial intelligence to stitch together billions of images to create a multidimensional view of the world through layers of trusted data.
“If you’re planning a trip to Boston and want to see historic Faneuil Hall, you can get started by exploring the area before you visit. Just search for it on Google Maps and tap the first video to hover over the building and find nearby locations,” Google said in a blog post.
In addition, the company said that Google Maps’ time slider allows users to see what the weather is like at different times of the day and how busy it is so they can plan their trips accordingly.
The technology giant also launched a driving directions feature viewable in Maps, which allows users to easily monitor the progress of their journey directly from their lock screen or route overview.
