Google Maps got a big update that shows where fast-charging EV stations are and more

▤ Summary

Starting next week, a feature called "Search with Live View" will let you use your phone camera to find out whats around you. When you hold up your phone, for example, and tap the camera icon in Maps, youll see nearby landmarks, parks, hotels, restaurants, bars, banks and ATMs. Youll also see info like how busy the location is, whether or not its open, what the price range is and how its rated by Google Maps users. The feature will first launch in six major cities: New York, London, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Tokyo and Paris. Google highlighted that the feature can be useful for people who are walking with a stroller or a cart, too, since they may want to know if a ramp is available before visiting a specific location.
