How the feature worked — the app picks up a person’s location via GPS, and then uses Street View data to narrow it down to your exact location. Once his location was pinned down, it displayed big arrows and directions in his screen.
Google Maps is one of the best map and navigation apps rolled into one, and I can see this feature being tremendously helpful in a foreign city.
#WSJ claims the feature will roll out "soon" to a few Local Guides, but it will only become widely available when Google is "satisfied that it's ready," which will probably take a while. In the meantime, Maps users will have to make do with the traditional map view.
