The Live View feature implements augmented reality to help show directions to Google Maps users in real time. Now, when the user selects or searches for a place on Google Maps, they can tap on the Live View button to visualize their destination in the real world. Live View will show how far away certain landmarks are from the user and what direction they need to take to get there. Live View can be accessed from the transit tab in Google Maps. While using transit directions, when the user comes across a portion that needs to be crossed on foot, Live View can be used to ease out navigation. The users will start seeing Live View in the transit tab and Location Sharing on Android and iOS in the coming weeks, along with a more accurate pin.
