Google Maps makes RA navigation easier with a new, experimental icon

easier, experimental, Google, icon, Maps, navigation


Google has changed the appearance of the map display app to add new navigation access to unpleasant virtual reality. And all except Navigation: just look for a business to have an icon appear; activating AR navigation by clicking on this icon.

Google apps constantly change their flexibility, sometimes in the form of closed tests accessible to only a few users. So we've seen how menus go, app appearances were changed or new buttons popped up, as is the case with something recently released by Google Maps: the app offers RA navigation access for point navigation for all you have to do is click the icon. It's much easier than working with virtual reality from a browser.

New icon for RA navigation

As is often the case with sudden changes within Google apps, Maps found the new icon by surprise and without reaching all of us app users. As highlighted on 9to5Google, this RA deployment icon applies to other accounts that use the Google Maps app in beta; except for an icon that just uses that version because it's an A / B test, an experiment that detects whether or not the changes are being used.

When searching for any business within Google Maps, different icons appear to access navigation, drive a business or interact with other users, for example. In addition, the mapping shortcut in our state is visible on the map icon, this has not changed. Of course the look of the new icon overrides the position: it symbolizes the roaming of the RA, just click on it for Navigation to run a point-to-point guide without having to choose to navigate on foot or lift the phone to set it up straight, compelling steps so far to activate the unpleasant real functionality.

With the changes introduced, Google makes additional virtualization easier since, with direct access to the work, missing out on unnecessary steps: one machine and we can see on the screen where we have to go to get to our destination. Minor changes to ease of use of the RA function; Just as we don't know if it will eventually be explained as, as is often the case with A / B changes made by Google, it will go to a stable version if the company verifies that the function is used, and if it is useful.
