Google Maps Live View AR feature helps pinpoint your location in crowded areas

GPS and Wi-Fi are great at pinpointing your exact location on Google Maps, unless you’re in a densely crowded area. When multiple alleys, buildings, and entrances are very close to each other, it is often hard to accurately pinpoint which one you’re looking for with the help of GPS alone. However, a new Google Maps feature aims to take care of this problem.

Google Maps’ Live View AR feature helps both the phone and the user understand where exactly the user is standing and the direction they face. The implementation of the new feature is similar to Google Maps’ Live View walking direction that was launched about a year ago. This allowed users to recognize if they are walking in the right direction by using AR via the phone’s camera.

To use Live View AR, all you have to do is tap on the blue location dot and select the Live View AR option.  The option is for now, only available on Android smartphones. Moreover, it will also only work in the areas supported by Google Street View. The feature has come to the stable Google Maps update so you should get it in the next update if you don’t already have it.
