Last year, Google unveiled one of its most interesting products called Immersive View. This is an extension of Google Maps that, as the name suggests, gives a very immersive and in-depth view of certain locations. Well, the company just announced that Immersive View is now making its way to four new cities.
In order to use Immersive View, you simply have to search for a famous landmark in Google Maps. In the search results, you will see a large card showing the Immerse View text. Also, you will see the camera panning around that location in real time.
When you tap on it, it will show you a high-resolution rendering of that location along with the option to see the time and weather. You will then see a real-time representation of the weather in that location along with the time of day.
As you can imagine, it’s an extremely immersive and intuitive way to get a view of certain landmarks.
Google Maps Immersive View now includes four new cities
Now, Immersive View is limited to only major landmarks. These include landmarks like Madison Square Garden, the Golden Gate Bridge, Big Ben, the Eiffel Tower, and many more. So, don’t think that you will be getting a view of your apartment complex or your local park.
In any case, Google announced in a blog post that the Immersive View now includes four new cities: Amsterdam, Dublin, Florence, and Venice. So, you can look up landmarks such as Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, St Mark’s Square in Venice, RDS Main Arena in Dublin, and plenty more. If you’re planning a trip there, or if you want to see the landmarks, then you’ll be able to get an amazing view of these beautiful places.
There’s more interesting stuff coming to Google Maps, and this includes Immersive View for Routes. If you’re planning a trip, you will be able to map out the path to your location, and Immersive View will give you an in-depth look at what your trip will look like
