You use it on your travels Google Maps? Then we have good news for you. Soon, they will be getting “new features” that will make your travel much easier. However, the word “new features” in this case is completely correct in quotes. This is more of a takeover of features from the dying Google Trips application. 

One of the biggest benefits of the Trips app was the ability to store various reservations for accommodation, flights, and other similar things in one place and thus have a perfect overview of them. However, since this app is no longer relevant in Google's eyes, they decided to kill it and transfer its best features to Google Maps, in which a completely new section will start appearing in the coming weeks specifically for viewing reservations. They will be displayed in the Your Places section, which is called up by tapping the three horizontal lines in the left corner of the application. However, as is usual with improvements Google Maps As usual, the spread of news will occur in waves that cannot be accelerated in any way, and therefore there is nothing left to do but wait, both in the case of iOS, so Android. 

Augmented reality navigation coming soon

News that Google for Maps is coming, but there is much more. One of the most interesting, if not the most interesting, is undoubtedly navigation in augmented reality. Simply put, it will work by adding objects to the real world captured through the camera of an AR-enabled smartphone. Maps to render navigation elements like arrows and similar things, which will allow users to navigate through a given place very easily. However, the new feature is very demanding to develop and after long months of alpha testing it only arrived in beta a few days ago. Its live deployment will probably take quite a few months. So, all we can do is hope that this wait will bear well-deserved fruit.
