Google Maps is soon going to receive the coolest feature users have ever seen, but don’t hold your breath just yet.
Google Maps is the go-to app for all navigation needs, at least in most parts of the world. The web giant’s mapping software keeps improving to offer the best guidance to tourists and people trying to get from one place to another, but the best feature is yet to arrive.
At Google I/O conference in May last year, Google demonstrated the coolest feature in Google Maps, utilising augmented reality (AR) to show directions. But months have passed and Google hasn’t offered any update in Maps that makes use of AR during navigations.
Google Maps with AR uses the phone’s camera to show directions, restaurant listings, local grocery stores and other helpful guides by overlaying the info on the camera screen.
