Google announced the introduction of a new feature called Immersive View for routes at Google I/O 2023.

The new feature offers a 3D view of the route and gives traffic information to understand the destination better. With the help of an immersive view, users will get a bird’s-eye view to visualize the landmarks and buildings better while navigating a new location.

Besides that, Google Maps will also show the traffic simulation to give a fair idea of the current road situation.
