Benefits from Five Exciting New Features of Google Maps

By the introduction of Artificial Intelligence, a lot of developments are happening in the technology front due to which a number of changes can be observed in Google Maps in the coming days.

Here are some of the benefits you can get from the new features which will become a game changer in the coming days.

1) Reality becomes the street view.:  Apart from GPS it’s time for VPS (Visual Positioning System) i.e., combining the camera with the street view will help a lot in the Google maps navigation features in the camera app. You can easily see the names of the places around you along with the directions to your destination.

2) Keep yourself updated with the ‘For You’ option: If a user is searching for a restaurant or any other food joint the FOR YOU option helps a lot in gathering all the social media feed and obtaining the results for the places that are popular with the public.

3) Artificial Intelligence Powered Virtual Assistance: The Explore tab has many features which guide you using the AI interface. For example, The foodie list gives you the top dining options, the trending list gives you the top picks of the week and the Events list gives you an idea as to what’s going on around you.

4) Get personalized using ‘Your Match’: This will help you in zeroing down on the outlet of your choice. For example, if someone selects a food or a drink preference in Google Maps, it automatically compares the same with the public preference and lets you know the best places available for the same.

5) Notifications on the web: This new feature ‘Time to leave’ informs you in advance when it's the appropriate time to leave. Just make sure you activate the feature by going to the Notifications toggles inside the side menu. Google Maps might also issue a prompt informing you about the new feature, as you can see in the top left corner in the screenshot below. Make sure you’re signed into Google Maps to take advantage of all these features. After all, Google has to know your whereabouts and plans. Also, you’ll have to allow Google to track your location for the Notifications feature to work, which most Google Maps users obviously already do.
