Google Maps rolls out AR walking directions on Pixel phones

So, you don’t like asking people for directions but don’t want to seem lost. Google Maps is rolling out its AR walking directions feature to all Pixel smartphones. This feature was previously only available to “Level 5” Google Maps Local guides. As its name suggests, it overlays arrows on the street view of Maps to help you navigate a place. You just need to look for the Start AR option from directions to fire this up. Your phone will need to do a quick calibration to help you get to where you want to go. As expected, this will affect the battery life of your phone, so you have to be wary of that.
