× Would enhance user experience to act as “search tool” rather than
just to “look for directions”.
× Rely on info from Local Guides to provide suggestions on specific
destinations and activities.
× Immersive View – using AI and tech, can provide First-Person view of
the route (Satellite Imagery and Street View)
× Integration of Lens with Maps – search buildings, landmarks etc. through
the camera and get info.
