From CNET: Immersive View for Google Maps is getting another update in the coming days, Google announced in a blog on Thursday. First announced at its Google I/O event in May, the update will add a "multidimensional experience" for routes so you can see everything on your trip, including the weather -- whether you're driving, walking or taking your bike out -- before you head out the door.
In the blog, Google also announced Lens in Maps, a more detailed map and more EV information.
Coming soon, when you use Google Maps Immersive View, you'll be able to preview bike lanes, sidewalks, intersections and parking on your route. The route view is available for those who are driving, walking and even biking. The app will use AI and historical driving trends to show you what traffic might look like depending on what time you'll be on the road. For instance, if you're driving to work at 8 a.m., Immersive View may show a slew of cars versus just a few cars if you're taking a nice evening cruise.
You'll also be able to see air quality information and how weather changes the route throughout the day by using the time slider. For example, it may be sunny when you leave your house in the morning but rain could bring in cooler weather that would prompt you to grab a jacket and rain boots.
