The next time you go out, Google Maps will give you the ... (ZDNet)

Google Maps wants to help you understand the "neighborhood vibe" of a place by surfacing locations that generate solid user feedback.

With Google Maps information layered on top, a user can use the time slider to check out what an area looks like at different times of day and in various weather conditions. For instance, Phillips said, if you're in an area that you're not familiar with and you need cash, you could search Google Maps for nearby ATMs. "Over the years, the product has adapted and grown to really help people explore and navigate the world," he said of the 17 year-old product. Now, Google is planning on taking all of that user-generated feedback to give you a sense of a "neighborhood vibe." It could be a coffee shop, a bar, a park -- places that people in the community have noted as significant. Announced earlier this year at Google I/O, the feature launched with 100 photorealistic aerial views of global landmarks.

Given the positive environmental impact of this feature, Google has decided to extend it to third-party developers that use Maps within their own applications. The final update is based on the eco-friendly routing feature that was launched in Maps earlier this year. Search with Live View will become available in the coming weeks in San Francisco, London, New York, Paris and Tokyo. The new Search with Live View feature will enable users to search for places or follow walking directions using Maps’ augmented reality. The feature relies on billions of user photos that have been processed using artificial intelligence, helping Maps to model photorealistic buildings in a more immersive, 3D view. Given the effort that goes into these incredibly realistic representations, Google Maps Immersive View will be available in only a select few cities at launch, including San Francisco, Los Angeles, New York City and London.

While Google didn't use the full "vibe check" Gen Z parlance with all of these announcements, that's still the takeaway from these new features. The last big, new toy for Google Maps users announced on Wednesday is an enhancement of Live View, the feature that lets you navigate from the street level using your phone’s camera. As a millennial (which is like Gen Z but with more lower back pain), I will definitely be using immersive view to perform vibe checks of my own. Launching Wednesday, you’ll also be able to check out “photorealistic aerial views” of 250 3D-modeled landmarks around the world, including the Eiffel Tower and the Acropolis.

Google says it will be out on Android and iOS "in the coming months." Like Google said in that original post, "the accuracy of localization through VPS is greatly affected by the quality of both the imagery and the location associated with it." This is a camera-powered location system: You fire up the camera, point it at the world, and your camera feed is compared against Google's huge collection of street view data to determine your location.
