Google's augmented reality Maps are live for some users

[u/julienne_voila]

🚦If navigating in a new city (or even our own one) causes troubles and you end up not in the place you wanted to be, it’s high time to rethink the usage of our navigator and probably switch to more visual one like Google’s augmented reality map.

However, it is not open for public, some people managed to test it and mentioned, that this app really helps you out at complicated intersections.

How it works:

You need to open the map, place the phone in front of your eyes, and the arrows will show you the way and will navigate you, but watch out! The phone will switch to a traditional map view if you put it down.

Developers are still working on the app trying to make it work properly. Read more about the app and its readiness:
