Google Maps will use Gemini artificial intelligence to better plan your evening

It had to happen eventually; Gemini AI is approaching Google Maps. This will give Maps two main capabilities: to curate your actions and respond to your requests.

Let’s say your friend is in town and asks you to get in touch. To take some of the stress out of being the perfect host, you can now ask Google Maps for “things to do in New York City at night with friends,” and then have it curate and present a list of places that seem best suited to your query. The listing will include all the important details such as opening hours and prices. You can always change your invitation and create new lists.

Let’s say you notice a place on the list that you want to visit. Clicking on it earlier gave you detailed information about it and a long list of reviews to scroll through. Now Gemini Assistant on Google Maps will summarize all reviews posted about the establishment. This way, you can save time by reading people’s opinions in a few lines at the top of the page.

Google Maps can also talk to you, just like a regular AI assistant does. You will now see a question box where you can ask a question about the location, such as “Is there parking here?” “Is there outdoor seating?” or “What’s the atmosphere like?” and he will answer all your questions in real time. This is designed to save you from having to scroll through the bar’s information page, or worse, scroll through reviews to get the answer to your question.

The above features will be available in the US on Android and iOS this week. The company says review summaries and the ability to ask detailed questions about places will also appear in Google search “in the coming months.”

To clarify, Gemini’s results on Google Maps will be the same as if you asked Gemini in its app. The only big update is that the AI ​​assistant will now be available in Maps, so you won’t have to switch between apps. Those who are tired of seeing AI has been popping up everywhere lately. will not be happy with these updates. But of course Google had to implement best app of all time with your chatbot with artificial intelligence.

This update also includes several navigation-related changes. Now, when you enter your destination, you will immediately see all the major attractions, landmarks, scenic spots and restaurants along the way. This should save you from having to search for them manually.

Google will now do a better job of telling you about upcoming lane mergers while you’re driving. The company says it will help you spot crosswalks and road signs with “enhanced navigation.” You’ll also be able to see and report weather events such as flooding, unplowed roads, or foggy roads. This will happen just in time for the upcoming winter months.

Google also provides an arrival guide in its new updates. Management upon arrival must ensure that the route from the parking area to the door of the destination is orderly. It will show you where to park, remind you to save your parking so you don’t forget it, and once you park, it will suggest walking directions to get to the entrance of your destination.

The feature to preview your route, view and report weather hazards, and get directions upon arrival will begin rolling out globally on Android and iOS this week. Expect the enhanced navigation feature to arrive on Android and iOS next month in more than 30 U.S. cities, with “plans to expand its reach to more locations over time.”
