Google Maps Tests New Feature for Identifying Building Entrances

The feature, currently in testing on select devices, aims to enhance navigation accuracy by displaying building entry points.

Google Maps is experimenting with a feature that displays the entrances and exits of buildings, aiming to improve user navigation.
The feature has been spotted on the Google Pixel 7a, indicating it's in the early stages of testing and not yet widely available.
Initial tests show the feature in several major cities, including San Francisco, Las Vegas, and New York City, with mixed accuracy in entrance locations.
The development follows the introduction of immersive view and glanceable directions in Google Maps, enhancing the platform's navigation capabilities.
While the feature is expected to roll out more broadly in the future, its current testing phase involves gathering data on building entrances and possibly utilizing AI for identification.
