Google Maps is adding a lot of new features. See the list.
With a new batch of features, Google wants to make Maps and Search more intuitive.
At Google's Live From Paris event on Wednesday, the tech giant announced new features, including an immersive way of exploring, improved resources for EV charging, and a "glanceable" way to use Google Maps. Not to be outdone by Microsoft's new AI-powered Bing, Google's announcement showcases advanced AI techniques like computer vision and predictive models.

Immersive View in Maps
Imagine Street View, but you can fly through the images. That's kind of like the Immersive View experience in Maps. Google combined billions of Street View and aerial images to create three-dimensional models of the location you're exploring. This could be useful for finding a clearer, more contextual layout of a neighborhood, or the entrance of a building. Immersive View also shows you the weather, traffic, and business to help plan your visit.
Immersive View also allows you to see inside of restaurants using something called neural radiance fields (NeRF) which transforms flat images into 3D renderings that include detail like lighting and texture. Immersive View is available to in London, Los Angeles, New York, San Francisco and Tokyo and will roll out to more cities in the coming weeks.

Built-in Google Maps software for electric vehicles already suggests charging stations along your route. But Maps has updated to this by automatically adding the ideal charging station based on your total trip time, driving conditions, and how long the charge will take. You can now also filter for fast charging stations, meaning chargers with 150 kilowatts or higher. Last but not least, charging stations will show up in your Maps search, for say, a supermarket so you can charge up while you shop for groceries.

Unlocking your phone to check Maps can be tedious — and downright dangerous if you're driving. Glanceable Directions is a new feature that shows your movement in the route overview (before you tap "start") or directly on the lock screen.
