While there isn't a Canadian city yet, this new Google Maps feature might come in handy if you find yourself in London, Los Angeles, New York, Paris, San Francisco, and Tokyo soon. The Android and iOS versions of the app are getting the Live View augmented reality feature, which can show you things like coffee shops and ATMs when you hold up your phone and point it at what's around you. 

If you're in one of these cities, you just need to tap the camera button in Google Maps search bar. And then you just need to point your phone's camera at buildings and places nearby. The GIF above shows this feature in action.
