This new feature is named as ‘Live Appearance’. Live Appearance feature is being used with the rear camera of the phone. Firstly, you should activate augmented reality feature on your phone. After that, you open Google Maps and write the place where you want to go. It’s enough to make your camera active for a short time. With augmented reality system, you can view live visual mode where you want to go and the alleys you’ll turn around.
Live visual feature makes you go to your destination by showing your destination point on your camera. You don’t need to understand where you should go anymore. You can watch the alleys, strrets from the phone screen and you can understand where you should turn. System allows fast directions by planted arrows on the live visual. So, if you know the points you should turn and you can reach your destination without getting lost.
