Get ready to see your route planning from a whole new perspective. The new Google Maps feature compiles all the necessary information (traffic, cycle paths, intersections, parking, etc.) in one place.
Using computer vision and AI, Immersive View merges billions of Street View and aerial images to create a digital model of the world. It’s like a dress rehearsal before D-Day.

The tool can also generate images based on the content of the document, helping to illustrate the story as it is written.
