A patent, granted to Google by the United States Patent and Trademark Office, describes a form of augmented reality navigation that combines Google Maps and Street View data with full motion video and live video feeds.

The detail, contained in United States Patent 8,428,873, is obfuscated in the fashion typical of patents but it's possible to discern a form of navigation that augments live video with Google data to provide a navigation system that combines the real-world view of StreetView with more traditional map based guidance.
