Google has made available its Google Live Maps Live View AR( augmented reality) feature for Android and iPhone users. The feature was first announced at Google I/O 2018 and launched for exclusively for Pixel phones in May this year. Now all AR-compatible smartphone users can view screens in their vicinity. Android devices that support ARCore or iPhones that include ARKit support will be able to access Google Maps Live View.

I used AR navigation with Pixel 3a last month in Italy and it saved me a lot of frustrations and time! It solves one of my biggest problem navigating at new city. Prior to AR, I had difficulties following Google map direction but with AR, I just scanned my surrounding with phone's camera and it points where to go.
