Google Maps

Don't have access to the feature yet, but I'm really looking forward to trying it out. Seems like a good use of AR.

I've been using it for a while (it rolled out to Local Guides some time ago). I haven't found it a huge battery drain, mostly because (despite the pictures) you use it to figure out the next step, then put it aside and start walking - it will complain at you if you try to walk with the phone up and "looking". It does help, particularly when you come up from a subway station and "where the heck am I" happens.

Sweet, make sure you got that battery thoughhhh and dont walk into a pole :p

Concerned about my battery life here!

Is this designed for walking (/PT) directions only? Recently saw some news re: Apple patents for AR maps, intended to be used while driving 😬

Sounds like vaporware, for places like NYC, due to the amount of intentional precision-fuzzing that is used to deter protestors and terrorists from coordinating locally.

On Android, when I'm in a map with walking directions, there's a button called Start AR. It doesn't show up otherwise. I presume there's an equivalent in iOS - make sure you've got the latest version of Maps, of course, and it may take a while to roll out fully.
