Google Maps has unveiled an update enabling users to experience an immersive view of locations.
The update will begin rolling out later this year in Los Angeles, London, New York, San Francisco and Tokyo with further cities to come.
The company says the artificial intelligence-driven functionality helps users explore and get a feel for neighborhoods, landmarks and other sites and attractions without having to be there.

Google also says that information layed on top of the maps will further help users see what an area is like at different times of day, in different weather conditions, when venues are busy and what the traffic might be like.
Google Maps launched augmented reality maps for train stations and airports a year ago as part of a release of 100 AI-led updates.
The search giant also recently added free hotel booking links to its maps as part of its strategy to help travel partners be more visible.
