An impressive visualization of places that Google Maps has just added among other novelties.

Large companies are constantly at war with each other and are fighting to keep or take first place in downloads and sales. That’s why their apps increasingly have great news or updates that make them unique.

One recent use case for Google Maps was the integration of toll roads in both Android and iOS to make it easier to choose between toll roads and regular roads, made possible by the company’s collaboration with local authorities.

Now he surprised us great news: aerial views of 100 points of interest, more detailed bike routes, and improved location sharing with notifications for your friends’ arrivals and departures.

It is true that, as is always the case with this type of new features, especially visual ones, they are limited to symbolic places for the moment, although it is true that the company has mentioned in Google IO that it plans to apply it to restaurants and neighborhoods like Well.

These bird’s-eye views are part of the company’s immersive visualization project, and this will be its first step. It is expected to start rolling out to Los Angeles, London, New York, San Francisco and Tokyo later this year.

On the other hand, as we have already mentioned, other great inclusions are for cyclists, They will be able to see additional information, such as whether the road they are about to take is a primary or secondary road, or if there are obstacles along the route.

Finally, Google also updates location sharing. If someone has shared their location with you, you can be notified when they arrive or leave the location.

This entire package is expected to be available to Google Maps users on iOS and Android starting today, although it is true that the update for cyclists will take several weeks.
