One of the first announcements made at Google I/O 2022 were improvements made to Google Maps. Regarded as the go-to app for finding your way around the world, Google Maps will now be upgraded to include a new ‘immersive view’ of select cities, along with the ability to use Live View’s AR in third-party apps.

Through its collection of heaps and heaps of data, Google is merging Street View and aerial shots together to create ‘immersive view,’ creating a ‘rich, digital model of the world.’ This view combines picturesque views of a city and its landmarks, along with suggestions of places to learn about or visit. The new feature also provides an inside view of some buildings, with the ability to alternate the views of specific areas, such as what they look like at nighttime, in bad weather, or in busy timings.
