I've been considering getting a Samsung phone when I eventually replace my Pixel 6 Pro.
I would've been happy to stay in the Google ecosystem forever, but they keep enshittifying faster and faster. I'm just about at the tipping point.
However, I often use the Live View feature in Google Maps when I'm walking to new places. I would miss it if I didn't have access to it any more. And it seems like most of my non-Pixel-having friends either don't have access to Live View, or don't know about it.
If you use a Samsung phone, can you tell me if Google Maps Live View is available to you??
I don't trust the documentation & also wouldn't trust most salespeople's answer to this question.
@lookitmychicken I have an S20 FE, and it's greyed out for me (didn't know it was a feature because I'm used to OSM and paper maps)
@jade It looks like maybe it's greyed out if the area you're in hasn't been fully mapped by Google Street View ...?
@lookitmychicken after seeing this I checked central London and I can't get live view but I can get something called immersive view??
@lookitmychicken@blorbo.social@goldgust I've heard of Immersive View, and I know it's not the same thing as Street View or Live View. But apart from that, I don't know anything about it.
