Now, you can even check the temperature of a bus or train based on driver reviews. You can also view security information on public transport if there are surveillance cameras.

Google also introduced a new feature called Live View. It's designed to help you decide which way to go when you start navigating. This feature works by scanning your camera's view and then showing you the correct direction on your screen.
