Google Maps

I tried this as a beta user. TERRIBLE product. Slow, clunky. Way worse than just looking at a 2D map. The arrows constantly disappear. Surprised they released this at all.

Very good

Love the idea- now shared by IdeaSpies https://www.ideaspies.com/a-live....

It seems like something that would work perfectly on next iteration of smart glasses. Hopefully Apple would produce them - I don't want to feed any more data to surveillance capitalists (I already share far too much to Google). Such glasses would be heavy and hot, though - because of needed GPU and batteries to run AR; so we need to wait another 5 years or so.

Had a chance to use this in Sydney last week. Fun idea but only practical for start of journey or if you have to stop because you're not sure where to go next.

Much needed AR feature!

With my nickname of "wrong way Ken" during my 9-week travels through Britain just behind me, this would have been a godsend. Leaving each train station using the conventional Google Maps, the minutiae of micro instructions were useless and confusing, so I'd pick a likely direction and check 50+ yards out to the map to see my progress. And usually had to turn around. This could be quite helpful when using stair to a subway under tracks or a rotary intersection-that picture being worth a thousand words- and finding north on an overcast day is easier with a signpost to look for. Given a potential battery drain, I'd probably use it in brief spurts-my phone regularly ran out of juice after wandering about a British city or town by day's end. Wish it had been live the first of June - I'd have given it a workout.
