  • Google has started rolling out an exciting Google Maps feature the company announced back in August.
  • Google Maps will now support richer street-level details, with streets that look just like they do in real life, and will offer crosswalk and sidewalk data.
  • The revamped maps experience is available in four locations: New York City and San Francisco (USA), Central London (UK), and Central Tokyo (Japan).

Google announced a major Google Maps redesign in mid-August, revealing its intention to offer users more accurate map reproductions. The maps will feature more color to more accurately replicate the actual geography of natural landforms. Included in the update was a handy navigation feature, a faithful depiction of street-level geography. Details like crosswalks, sidewalks, and pedestrian islands would appear on maps, and the streets would look like they do in real life.

At the time, Google said the feature would be available in certain cities, which is understandable. After all, Google has to basically remap entire cities, a process that can take ages. But the feature is finally rolling out in more locations.
