Google Maps is one of the most popular and widely used navigation apps in the world, but it’s not resting on its laurels. The tech giant recently announced that it is giving it a massive AI upgrade with five new features.

 

 

One of the most impressive new features is Immersive View, which lets you see your route from the street level in 3D. This means you can get a realistic and detailed view of your surroundings, landmarks and directions before you even start your trip.

You can also explore different places and see how they look in real-time. This feature is especially useful for unfamiliar or complex areas where you might otherwise get lost or confused.

 

Find whatever you need with AI

Another cool upgrade is Google Maps Search, which uses AI to help you find relevant locations based on your preferences, needs and context. For example, if you’re looking for a restaurant, Google Maps will show you options that match your taste, budget and availability.

 

It also uses user-submitted photos and reviews to give you a better idea of what to expect. You can filter your search results by various criteria, such as ratings, cuisine or distance.

 

AI enhances Google Maps Navigation

Google Maps Navigation is also getting an AI boost, with improved lane guidance and traffic information. You’ll be able to see which lane you need to be in to avoid missing your exit or turn and what the lanes will look like ahead of time.

You’ll also get real-time updates on road conditions, accidents and congestion, so you can plan your route accordingly. Google Maps will also suggest alternative routes if there are faster or easier ways to reach your destination.
