A augmented reality (augmented realityor AR) allows you to enjoy virtual world experiences within the “real” world. Among the applications of this is the possibility of checking the itineraries on foot from a map using this technology on your iPhone, just by raising it.
The bad news is that this is available in very few locations — none of which are in Brazil. However, if you intend to travel and want to test this function in practice, we will show you how to use it below.
Let’s go?! ????
compatible iPhones
All iPhones equipped with the chip A12 Bionic or later are compatible with this feature, i.e.:
Supported locales
The list is still small and includes locations such as New York, Miami, amsterdam, Paris e Berlin. More recently, Portugal e Spain also entered this group. You can check all locations here.
How to use the feature in practice
Open Maps, tap “Itineraries” and select the walking route. Then go to “Go” next to the route you want. Then, select the resource’s icon (represented by a cube with little arrows) and follow the instructions shown on the screen. When you want to return to the normal map, tap on the “X”.
If you want to automatically return to the augmented reality screen whenever you lift your iPhone following tapping the feature icon, go to Settings » Maps » On foot (in the “Itineraries” section) and activate “Elevate to View”.
Apple further claims that on iPhones 8 or later (including second generation iPhone SE or newer) and those equipped with Face ID, the camera and motion sensors of these devices are used to improve the accuracy of your position and direction. when walking using the function.
Therefore, battery usage may be impacted. If you don’t want this to keep happening, go to Settings » Maps » On foot (under “Itineraries”) and uncheck “Enhanced”.
Let’s hope that Apple expands this function to Brazil! ????
