“Immersive View” was introduced at last year’s Google I/O and it provided a 3D-like view of key places and landmarks. However, this year, Google is taking this technology one step further and making it available for entire routes.
This experience will launch in the summer in the U.S. and will be expanding to fifteen cities by the end of the year. Some of the cities that will benefit from this will be Amsterdam, Berlin, Dublin, Florence, Las Vegas, London, Los Angeles, New York, Miami, Paris, Seattle, San Francisco, San Jose, Tokyo, and Venice.
These updates represent a significant step forward for Google Maps and demonstrate the company’s ongoing commitment to making navigation and exploration as easy and convenient as possible.
