The navigation app will soon look so spectacular

Google Maps has now become a must-have app for many people around the world. The range of functions has been massively expanded in recent years, so that you can not only find the best route, but also find out how long a shop will be open and how busy it is. The look will soon be revised and the change is really something.

Google Maps lets you experience the world in a new way

Google already offers two views in the Maps app. A bird’s eye view with satellite images and street view of the Google cars that have driven around the world. Through artificial intelligence and computer vision, Google has combined both perspectives and created a completely new view. The goal is, to create a digital model of the world in which you can move and feel what it would be like to be there. Using London, Google shows what that will look like:

But it doesn’t stop with the 3D model, because time, weather and traffic are also taken into account. This gives you the most realistic view possible of how certain locations, landmarks, shops and so on look. Everything in real time, so you can check the situation in the restaurant two streets down in advance, for example. This works on almost every smartphone and similar devices. After London, big cities like Los Angeles, New York, San Francisco and Tokyo will soon follow. Other cities are planned.

Google brings environmentally friendly route planning to Germany

A few months ago, Google introduced the option for environmentally friendly route planning in Maps in the USA and Canada. This feature is coming to Europe soon. This way you can find a route that uses less fuel and saves you money. The function is very welcome, especially given the currently very high fuel prices.
