Google has decided to add some tools to help you get more information from Google Maps. This includes the new, AR -powered directions on-screen and also pick-up listing for curbside that have been updated.

Google Maps AR allows you to use augmented reality (AR) when you are walking. This makes use of the camera on the phone’s rear for identifying where you are, superimposing details and direction on the display instead of just presenting the map.
