Rolling out the update will mean users can point their phone in the direction they want to go and see the real world pop-up.
Hopes to make the app more useful, every building and road will appear making directions easier to follow.
Google describes it as: “You’re in New York and want to do some shopping and hang out with friends.
“Lift your phone and tap on the camera icon in the search bar to see nearby stores and other places like coffee shops, banks and ATMs.

“With AR-powered directions and arrows, you can see what direction they’re in and how far away they are — and even spot places that aren’t in your immediate view (like a clothing store around the block) to get a true sense of the neighbourhood at a glance.”
Limited to a handful of cities, you will only be able to access the live feature in London, Los Angeles, New York, Paris, San Francisco and Tokyo.
Google haven’t announced plans for more locations just yet – but it is understood they will once it’s been trialled.
It comes as Google also introduce a new electrical vehicle charging station finder.

If you’re also reliant on a wheelchair or need to use a pram, the app will now also tell you if where you’re going is accessible – including toilets, seating and parking.
And a location doesn’t already have that information you can add it yourself.
