It will also feature live viewing of the Maps with the help of Google Lens.

In addition, you have access to the timing of your flights, hotel bookings, and more. This feature will be available on Android and iOS very soon.

When your camera meets your map:

At the I/O conference last year by, Aparna Chennapragada, the vice president for Google Lens and AR, announced that Google Lens was about to collaborate with Google Maps.

…Our teams have been working really hard to combine the power of the camera, the computer vision, with Street View and maps to re-imagine walking navigation.

However, at the 2019 I/O conference, it was announced that the Beta version of Google Maps with AR had been provided to the Google Pixel owners. Now this Update is available for Android and iOS users. You will have access to the alternative reality and can turn it to your local guide and walking companion at the same time. Huge arrows will pop up on your screen and show you the best way to explore your surroundings.

Timeline of your own:

Did you visit a nearby place and love it? Well, why not update it in your Google maps timeline? Thus you can have a count on your activities e.g. the places you visited, the places you loved, you can also tick what you loved the most about it and share it with your family and friends. This timeline feature is divided into categories e.g. shops, restaurants, airports, hotels, etc. and it also make suggestions for you to narrow down your places of interest.
