If you’re a travel enthusiast, chances are you’ve used Google Maps at some point. Whether exploring a new city or navigating familiar surroundings, Google Maps can be your most reliable companion. It not only provides directions to any location but also offers several special features that can make your journey easier and more enjoyable. Today, we’ll introduce you to one such special feature of Google Maps that will ensure you never get lost again.
Google recently added a feature called Live View to its navigation app, which many people still aren’t aware of. This feature is so amazing that you just need to lift your phone slightly, and the map itself will guide you where to go. While it may sound ordinary at first, this feature is significantly better because it uses your phone’s camera to show you a live view of the street and direct you where to go.

If you’ve played car racing games in your childhood, this feature can remind you of them to some extent. Just like in those games where big arrows show you which direction to take with your car, this feature works similarly.
Activating this feature is quite simple. First, select a location and turn on directions. Then, choose the walking mode. Once you do this, you’ll see an option for Live View at the bottom. Clicking on it prompts you to straighten your phone. Once done, your phone’s camera activates, displaying arrows on the screen that guide you easily in the right direction.
