Google announced plans to roll Immersive View for routes out to 15 cities around the world by the end of the year: Amsterdam, Berlin, Dublin, Florence, Las Vegas, London, Los Angeles, Miami, New York, Paris, San Francisco, Seattle Tokyo, and Venice. Google Maps has boosted its Immersive View feature with a new element that lets you explore a planned route in a whole new way. It can be panned, zoomed and tilted just like the rest of Google Maps allowing you to get a better look at the location. Google Maps uses satellite images captured by any of the satellites and distributed by NASA to create realistic view of earth.

You’ll get all that info through a multidimensional experience that, as the name might suggest, is rather immersive.Įven better, the feature also tells you what the weather is expected to be like when you plan to travel and offers a time slider where you can see how the weather might change throughout the day.Īs complex as this sounds, we're not surprised to learn that it’s unfortunately not going to be available everywhere straight away. Put simply, Immersive View is a 3D view of a location in Google Maps.

Maps will tap into information like where the bike lanes and public parking opportunities are, as well as data about complex intersections and traffic simulations, to give you an idea of how traffic typically looks in the area at the time of day you’re traveling using historical data.
