The Wall Street Journal was able to access a trial version of the new Google Maps application and shared all the details of the changes that will come to all users, where the enhanced reality is very clear in the application.
The first thing to draw attention to is that the map now takes much less space on the screen, which has a curved shape and will only appear at the bottom of the screen, where we can see where we are and where we are going.
The camera will occupy the rest of the screen, which means that we will see on the screen what is captured by the camera phone, in this way will show the enhanced reality on the screen through the arrows that will lead us along the way we should reach our destination.
Moreover, we will see street names and other indicators such as the name of companies or important places.
Obviously, one of the things users have commented on these new changes is that we always have to carry the smartphone forward, a situation that can be dangerous because we can hit someone or an accident or steal the phone.
For this reason, Google places notifications in the app that calls the user to save and use the phone only when necessary. If the road tells you to go 30 meters in a straight line, it will not be necessary to guide the phone forward along the way.
Currently, the Wall Street Journal has been able to access this new beta version, and there is currently no specific date to publish this update, but all indications indicate that this trial version will be available in the coming weeks, where other users will be able to Enjoy the new Google Maps interface for Android and iOS.
