Any partnerships or business relationships that we may have with any transport service providers do not influence the ranking of these services. These mobility services are provided by third parties who have made their transport data publicly available or who have a partner agreement with us.

Where available, we also show you other mobility services like public transport, scooter or bicycle rentals and vehicle ride services. Generally, the most important factors are your mode preference, trip durations and sometimes price. These factors can include duration, distance, price, your mode preference or the relevance of a mode to your query. Sometimes, the transport options that we show you are ranked according to a combination of objective factors designed to help you find relevant and useful information.

Matt Brightman, product manager at Google, explains:Īerial View delivers programmatic API-based creation of high-resolution cinematic videos, allowing businesses to quickly embed them on their website or application the same way they would embed a YouTube video. According to Google, the views from the sky help create a sense of scale and perspective and help users make informed location-based decisions virtually. Using the new Aerial View API, developers can create and display 3D aerial videos of a physical address, and highlight places like hotels, attractions, and shops with the same 3D map source used by Google Earth. Immersive View for routes, Photorealistic 3D Tiles, new route customization capabilities, and reusable web components are other Google Maps improvements. At the recent Google I/O conference, the cloud provider announced the preview release of Aerial View API, a new option to access cinematic videos of points of interest.
