Ready for something new from Google? Here, is the latest announcement by Aparna Chennapragada.....
"Visual guidance and Visual Positioning System in Google Maps Navigation."
It is basically the revamped version of Maps that utilizes a complex visual positioning system to offer improved navigation.
Introduction
We all have experienced the incorrect directions while using GPS that could be because of some satellite signals issues; As satellites are not a hundred per cent accurate always because of which they may not be able to determine your exact location.
To overcome this issue, Google VPS Comes into play.
What exactly it does?
Google VPS is an advanced version of Google Maps technically termed as Google Maps AR navigation mode in this...
Google Maps can now use your camera to identify your surroundings, visually communicate your route right in front of your eyes!
For example, you want to go to 6th street then Google Maps will instead display blown-up 3D directions such as lit-up arrows and precise steps like “6th street is 100 feet away.”
With Google VPS, all you have to do is tap a button to activate the visual view and point your camera where you want to see relevant information.
VPS is a great addition to Google Maps and Street View and uses your phone’s camera and Google’s extensive back-end data to analyze your surroundings to get you navigated on your way. It identifies the surroundings with an overlay of information for businesses close by, with superimposed arrows appearing at each turn to point you in the direction you need to go, without misinterpreting directions and a map at the bottom to remind you where you are going with greater accuracy.
Note: Google, in its demo, is playing with the idea of inserting digitally animated avatars as an augmented reality tour guide to make your app more entertaining.

Benefits of VPS (Google Visual Positioning System )
- The new visual system is beneficial for people who live in densely populated areas with tall buildings and face problems with GPS drift while navigating.
- It is also for the people who usually get delayed while figuring out Google Maps navigation
Sadly, Google did not mention when these new Maps features would become available. We will be sure to update when we learn more.
