Google has been working on its Google Maps App to make it more user- friendly. In order to do this, Google Maps is getting better day by day. In 2018 IO developer conference, Google announced that it is working on a new feature for its navigation app. This feature will be the combination of AI, AR and your phone’s camera which will help the user with a real-time wayfinding process.

While using Augmented Reality and rear cameras of your phone, Google Maps will show you a real-time look revealing where you are currently standing.  Google Maps will lead you way with 3D arrows on the screen telling you where to go.

Moreover, Google Maps is testing speed limits feature that will indicate your speed limit.  Google Maps Feature to display speed limits was tested back in 2016.
