Google Maps is getting updated by introducing new AI features like ‘Immersive View’, a cool feature that shows your route in great detail using AI and lots of images.
You can even change the time and weather to see what your trip will look like during the day. Plus, developers can use this for fun 3D maps. The feature is coming to major cities like Amsterdam, Barcelona, Las Vegas, London, Los Angeles, New York, Paris, San Francisco, Seattle, and Tokyo.
Another cool feature has been added to Google Lens. It puts information about nearby places right in your camera view, and it's going to work in more cities.
When you’re looking for something special, like "animal latte art," Google Maps will now show you pictures of places that match your search. And if you need to charge your electric vehicle, it will show you all the details about the charging stations near your area.
These updates are rolling out worldwide starting this week.

Detailed updates of AI’s Immersive View
Google is doing some high-tech magic by using AI to combine tons of street view and aerial images. This creates something called Immersive View, which makes you feel like you're really on the journey you're planning. It's like a cool simulation that uses all these pictures to make it feel real.
Easy life for electric vehicle drivers
Google Maps is making life easier for electric vehicle drivers. Now, when you're planning a trip, it will give you detailed information about charging stations.
You'll know if your car can use them, how many are there, what types they are, how fast they charge, and when they were last used. This way, you won't end up with a damaged charger.
Google lens updates with AI
Google Lens is doing something amazing with AI and augmented reality. It adds information about restaurants, shops, and transit stations right on your camera screen. It's like magic! Last year, it started in a few cities, and now it's spreading to over 50 cities all over the world.
Google Maps AI visual power
When you search for something, Google uses super-smart computer vision to look at billions of photos. Then it shows you pictures of places that match what you're looking for. You can click on these pictures to see more details, reviews, and directions.
This new way of searching is coming to France, Germany, Japan, the UK, and the US this week, and it's all thanks to Google's fancy computer vision and AI technology.
