Editing Google Maps (section)

=== Lens in Maps ===
Previously called Search with Live View, Lens In Maps identifies shops, restaurants, transit stations and other street features with a phone's camera and places relevant information and a category pin on top, like closing/opening times, current busyness, pricing and reviews using AI and [[augmented reality]]. The feature, if available on the device, can be accessed through tapping the Lens icon in the search bar. It was expanded to 50 new cities in October 2023 in its biggest expansion yet, after initially being released in late 2022 in Los Angeles, San Francisco, New York, London, and Paris.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Li |first=Abner |date=2022-11-17 |title=Google Maps getting Live View AR search in these cities as Lens adds 'near me' food lookup |url=https://9to5google.com/2022/11/17/google-maps-live-view-search/ |access-date=2024-01-14 |website=9to5Google |language=en-US |archive-date=March 30, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230330062808/https://9to5google.com/2022/11/17/google-maps-live-view-search/ |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=2023-10-26 |title=New Maps updates: Lens in Maps and other AI features |url=https://blog.google/intl/en-ca/products/explore-get-answers/new-maps-updates-lens-in-maps-and-other-ai-features/ |access-date=2024-01-14 |website=Google |language=en-ca |archive-date=January 14, 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240114190341/https://blog.google/intl/en-ca/products/explore-get-answers/new-maps-updates-lens-in-maps-and-other-ai-features/ |url-status=live }}</ref> Lens in Maps shares features with Live View, which also displays information relating to street features while guiding a user to a selected destination with virtual arrows, signs and guidance.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Use Live View on Google Maps - Android - Google Maps Help |url=https://support.google.com/maps/answer/9332056?hl=en&co=GENIE.Platform=Android#zippy= |access-date=2024-01-14 |website=support.google.com |archive-date=January 14, 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240114190340/https://support.google.com/maps/answer/9332056?hl=en&co=GENIE.Platform=Android#zippy= |url-status=live }}</ref>
