San Francisco, April 18: In order to make navigation easy, Google is reportedly testing a new feature in Maps that will use landmarks, including restaurants, as points of reference to give directions to a commuter.
So instead of telling you to turn right onto Acacia Avenue, for example, it might tell you to turn after the KFC, a report in Engadget said late Tuesday.
It said that the feature has only been seen in the New York City and Google has not announced whether the update would be rolled out widely.
The news comes a day after Google announced that it has joined hands with CyArk - a California-based 3D laser scanning non-profit - to build virtual reality ( VR) representations of historical sites around the world that are at risk of destruction due to human conflict or natural disasters.
Thank you.
