Google revealed augmented reality-powered navigation in Maps last year and it has now got around to rolling out the feature. It’s doing that at a very limited rate, though. Google Maps AR navigation is currently being tested with Local Guides only, they’re the community reviewers that provide information about places and points of interest listed in Maps.
Google confirmed to the Wall Street Journal that it’s only rolling out this functionality to Local Guides first. It feels that the feature needs more testing before it can be rolled out to all users. Nevertheless, this goes to show that Google has made considerable progress in the development of this feature, so much so that it may not be too long before it’s out for everyone.
The way it works is Google Maps uses GPS to estimate the user’s location and then turns to the camera to get a more precise idea of the location. It then shows 3D arrows that hover over the places that the user has to turn. The AR feature is meant for navigation use when walking only.
Google has built in some protections to ensure that users don’t just use AR navigation all the time without watching where they’re going. If the user holds up the phone in AR mode for a long time, the app will ping the user to lower the device and will ultimately darken the screen if they don’t do it. This would help prevent embarrassing cases of people bumping into each other.

Unboxing a brand new device is always something that is worth looking forward to. From there, it is always an adventure, making sure that no harm comes to said smartphone, smartwatch or tablet through accidental knocks and drops. However, accidents happen without any prior warning, which is why it is always better to be safe than sorry. Caseology has long offered accessories for mobile devices that help keep them protected, and this time around there are non-toxic cases that are safe for you and your family, babies included, with the introduction of the Abel Series Smartwatch Case for Apple Watch 4 and the Nero Pro Case for iPhone XR.
The Nero Pro iPhone XR case is truly a wonder, with Caseology proudly laying claim that it is capable of surviving a 20 foot drop without any issues at all. This is a limited edition case that will work in tandem with the included tempered glass screen protector, making this case ‘invincible’ to a certain degree. iPhone XR owners who would want something tough and practical, while still being able to make a fashion statement, the Nero Pro iPhone XR case that arrives in red fits the bill perfectly.
As for Apple Watch series 4 owners, you might have scuffed your timepiece by accident in the past and would not want to repeat the same mistake again in the future. This is where the Abel Case for Apple Watch Series 4 comes in. Paying homage to the legacy iPod design, this particular prototype is currently being worked on in order to enter full production eventually, and is tipped to roll out some time in 2019 in colors, black and pink.
Then there is the Nero Slim Case for Apple Watch Series 4 for those who would want something that is more discrete in nature without compromising the Apple Watch 4 experience. The slim and modern design does not detract it from taking down your heart rate, blood pressure, keeping track of your steps or number of calories burned. Do take note that at best, it offers protection from daily wear and tear, and will arrive in black and pink for sizes 40mm and 44mm.
