Google Maps for desktop browser is added 'Pegman' virtual guide

Google today introduced a new desktop browser version of Google Maps with the appearance of a yellow "virtual guide" named Pegman.

When clicking on it, users will see Google Street View images and the surrounding roads that support Street View. In addition, Pegman also offers 360-degree panoramas or 360-degree panorama photos by users, information about prominent locations and businesses in the neighborhood.

Currently, this feature is only available for some users who have registered to use Maps Preview and will be updated for more customers in the next few weeks. I have tried to use Maps Preview, I did not see Pegman appear, probably not supporting Vietnam.

In addition, the new Google Maps for desktop version also features a real-time traffic warning feature from the Waze map data company. This is a feature that has appeared on Maps for iOS and Android.

Today's update also adds the ability to view 3D images of " thousands of places " around the world, helping users to experience a place in three dimensions without having to install software. Google Earth as before. Unfortunately, these two new features don't seem to support our country yet.
