I am wondering is there any options for combining existing ARCore early stage with Google Location in order to place AR objects over lat/lng in the real world? I know this one is possible with ARKit but haven't found any information on such via ARCore.

Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

A option that's recently emerged would be: https://www.appoly.co.uk/arcore-location/

It allows you to render objects at a GPS location. Currently it offers two example renderers - an annotation, or a 2D image - however you can implement your own custom ones based on the example code which shows 3D models.

It's worth noting that this is based around Android SDK and not Unity etc.
