Google Maps has an amazing new feature that you probably can’t use

[Chris Smith]

Google just unveiled a fantastic feature on Google Maps, but now that it’s already here, I can’t even use it unless I travel to Sydney, Australia, where Google’s new accessibility tools rolled out to Google Maps users.

Unlike other Google Maps features that can be rolled out more broadly, the new features will need more time to expand to more markets. That’s because Google has brought Street View navigation to indoor locations, like busy train stations. That’s an amazing use of Google's Street View technology, but it’s not as easy to deploy as having Google's cars photograph all the streets in a city. That’s why the feature is limited to Sydney, and why it will take time to cover other major markets in Australia and abroad.
