Whether you’re looking for a quiet stroll or an all-night party, you’ll be able to tell what a neighborhood offers at a glance.Google shared a vague explanation forTo determine the vibe of a neighborhood, we combine AI with local knowledge from Google Maps users who add more than 20 million contributions to the map each day — including reviews, photos and videos. Google says that vibe checks are coming to Google Maps on iOS and Android in the coming months, but didn’t reveal an exact release date for the new feature.Google also announced three updates for existing Google Maps features today: Google added over 250 photorealistic aerial views of global landmarks to the immersive view on Google Maps, including the Tokyo Tower and the Acropolis. Live View is getting a search feature that will let Google Maps users more easily find ATMs, coffee shops, grocery stores, transit stations, and other hot spots in the area.
