The augmented reality walking navigation mode for Google Maps appears to be closer to an upcoming release for the general public.
Google recently granted the Wall Street Journal (paywall) a sneak peek at the navigation mode via a preview build, and the newspaper published its first impressions on Sunday.
According to the paper, Google will soon roll out the feature to select Local Guides, the app’s user-generated content participants. A wider release will be dependent on Google’s progress in testing the navigation mode.
