Here are the 5 impressive updates on Google Maps that will enhance your navigation and exploration experience with the help of AI & AR:

1. Conversational Map Search

Conversational map search is a powerful tool that leverages visual representations to enhance communication processes. It allows users to interact directly with Google Maps through chat, similar to engaging in a conversation. This feature enhances user experience by enabling interactive searches and providing a more user-friendly way to find locations.

2. LIVE View (Augmented Reality)

LIVE view feature overlays walking directions onto real-time images from your phone’s camera, helping you navigate places in the real world. It is designed to assist you during the walking process, providing a more intuitive way to navigate your surroundings. The feature offers a unique perspective by blending digital directions with the physical environment, making it easier to find your way around unfamiliar places

3. Photo-Based Search

Unlock the power of visual navigation with Google Maps’ new photo-based search! You can now find your favourite spots with just a tap! All you have to do is snap a picture and let Google Maps do its magic. Whether you’re tracking down a hidden gem or revisiting a beloved location, this feature makes it a snap to get wherever you wish to go.

4. New Multi-Search

The new Multi-Search feature is an innovative tool that allows users to search using both images and text simultaneously. It enables users to input their search queries like “craving for a dessert.” The feature uses Google Lens with AI to find information on Google Maps by combining words and images.

5. Get AI Recommendations

One of the most quirkiest and significant feature updates is AI Recommendation. It offers AI-powered suggestions tailored to real-time conditions. Whether you’re looking for activities during a rainy day or searching for a quiet coffee shop to work from, you can ask Google Maps for recommendations in no time.

Netizens’ Take

While these features seem to be useful and can potentially portray a positive impact on the navigation process, some people don’t feel it was necessary or have contrary thoughts for that matter. Let’s take a look at some of them:

One of the users said, “Just make sure the routes suggested are correct that all I want.” While another championed Google Maps and said, “There was never a debate between the two (Apple Maps), Google Maps has always been far superior.

The banter between netizens and brands might constantly shuffle, but Google Maps’ new upgrades will make getting around so much easier and stress-free. Enjoy a smoother, smarter travel experience every time you hit the road!
