As the first step in its immersive view experience, Google introduced aerial view to Google Maps. The “photorealistic aerial view” feature of around 100 popular landmarks in Barcelona, London, New York, San Francisco and Tokyo. Google’s aerial view is quite similar to Apple Maps’ 3D view. Google Maps Aerial View is the first step to the immersive view. In a recent blog post by Amanda Leicht Moore, product director, Google Maps says that aerial views are the first step toward the immersive view announced at I/O this year. Additionally, Moore adds that Immersive View is an experience that combines AI with Street View and aerial imagery. To see an aerial view of a landmark, you need to open Google Maps on your smartphone and search for landmarks like Big Ben, the Empire State Building, or Alcatraz Island. Now scroll down to the photos section where you will find an aerial view showing a 360 degree aerial view of this monument. Aerial View is rolling out globally and will be available for both IOS and Android. Google Maps cycling navigation will show much more detailed route information. There are also a few updates. Google Maps gets improved cycling navigation with detailed route information showing if there is heavy traffic, stairs or steep hills along the route. Google Maps will also show you the type of road you’ll be taking – whether it’s a main road or a local street. The new cycling navigation will be available to Google Maps users in hundreds of cities in the coming weeks. Location sharing also gets an update Finally, location sharing is getting smarter. So now if someone shares their location with you, you will get a notification when they arrive at the set destination. You’ll also get a notification if they leave the location without telling you. Google says the feature only works for someone you share your location with. You can choose to stop sharing your location if you wish.
