Google has introduced new features for its Google Maps service that brings neighborhoods to life and can help you figure out which are the best and worst neighborhoods . Although we do not have much specific information about this functionality, we do have an idea of what we can find in this interesting novelty of the service that will help us learn more about what surrounds us.
This new function of the famous mapping service is called Neighborhood Vibe, which although it does not necessarily have to do with your neighborhood, it does seek to explore neighborhoods and improve them with its new functions.
We cannot access it yet, but it will gradually reach users of Android and iOS mobile devices.
You will be able to know the atmosphere of the neighborhoods
This new Google service that we already know is known as Neighborhood Vibe (we don’t know what it will be called in Spanish) is ready to be implemented on Android and iOS devices in the coming months. You’ll bring more information to maps to discover more interesting places directly from it and learn more about neighborhoods by taking advantage of the great Maps community and what it knows about its users wherever they are.
Everything is more colorful and extensive with new details thanks to user information, which will allow you to better explore places and cities. Information will now be integrated more directly into the map to offer data in a more intuitive way and stimulate user interactions.
The highlights of each area will be shown to find out what any neighborhood is like before visiting it, discovering what its atmosphere is or why it is characterized. Thus, we can get a rough idea of what to expect when visiting a site or even if we are thinking of moving to it.
The new section will give you a glimpse of the different neighborhoods within the app with photos, reviews, videos and information that will give you an idea of what to expect, which ones are the best, most popular or why each of them stands out. This will be added to the business information. When this new update arrives, knowing the atmosphere of a neighborhood will be much easier than ever.
Google describes this service like this:
Suppose you’re traveling in Paris: You can quickly tell if a neighborhood is artsy or has an exciting food scene, allowing you to make an informed decision about how to spend your time. To determine the atmosphere of a neighborhood, we combine AI with the local knowledge of Google Maps users, who add more than 20 million posts to the map every day, including reviews, photos, and videos.
The update will arrive in the coming months
When the new update arrives, you will not only know where to eat, but also important places in a neighborhood, such as parks, exercise areas, museums, etc. This will help you know what to expect from a new place that you are going to visit, where you have to work or that you want to know more about for whatever reason.
For now, Google has not confirmed all the information in detail nor has it mentioned when these innovations will begin, although we know that it will probably be in the coming months.
It is an update that will come little by little to the mobiles of the different users of this service, so you will have to arm yourself with patience until it finally arrives to enjoy all its possibilities.
