Google continued its AI push on Wednesday, announcing several interesting features across various apps in its portfolio. Google Maps is one of the key Google apps that can benefit from smarter AI, and Google just announced three big feature additions. While one of them is the expansion of Immersive View, the other two are even more exciting. In fact, they will change the way I use the app on my iPhone and Mac. The new features I’m referring to are glanceable directions for mobile devices and a new history view for desktops.
That’s not to say the Immersive View update isn’t as exciting. Google uses AI to fuse billions of aerial images and create three-dimensional views of the world. The result is a brand new way to explore tourist attractions worldwide before you even get there.
