The American technology company “Google” has revealed its intention to add a large and comprehensive set of features and updates to the mapping and navigation service “Google Maps” in the coming weeks and months, by integrating the “Street View” service with satellite imaging to make the navigation and navigation service easier for users.
In a statement published online, Google referred to the “Immersive View for Routes” feature, which it revealed for the first time at the “Google IO” conference earlier this year. The Immersive View feature gives the user a better visual representation of the road by displaying buildings and landscapes.
Google said that it uses artificial intelligence techniques to “merge billions of street view and aerial images, so that the user can know the true appearance of the restaurant or park he is going to before he actually reaches it.”
The “Immersive View” feature is scheduled to be launched this week in the cities of: Amsterdam, Barcelona, Dublin, Florence, Las Vegas, London, Los Angeles, Miami, New York, Paris, San Francisco, San Jose, Seattle, Tokyo, and Venice, for phone users. Which operates on the Android and iOS operating systems, according to the CNET.com website, which specializes in technology affairs.
In addition to “Immersive View,” Google launched the “Lens in Maps” feature, which helps the user navigate the “Google Maps” service using the mobile phone camera.
The Google Maps service sometimes becomes confused about a person’s direction when he exits a side road, as the GPS signal is cut off. In this case, the user’s phone camera can be used so that Google can use artificial intelligence and augmented reality algorithms to find out. User location better.
The “Lines” service will also display information to help locate the nearest ATM machines, restaurants and cafes, and will be available in 50 additional cities around the world such as: Austin, Las Vegas, Rome, Sao Paulo, and Taipei.
