Using billions of Street View images, AI and AR, the new Live View search option gives users a much better grasp of your surroundings. It displays shops, restaurants, banks, ATMs, etc., even if they are not in sight and are around the corner, for example. All a user needs to do is enable the camera on your phone in Maps and point in the direction you need, reported GSM Arena.

The labels popping up on these facilities now have useful information such as busy hours, price range, rating and, of course, whether it's open or not.

As per GSM Arena, a new EV charging station option is also coming allowing you to even search for compatible stations and fast charging spots above 50 kW.
