Google is rolling out a new Gemini AI feature called Ask Maps to the Google Maps app. The conversational experience lets users ask follow‑up questions, rephrase queries and explore prompts about trips, nearby amenities and tourist spots. Ask Maps draws on users’ past Maps data to tailor recommendations, such as locating charging stations or well‑lit tennis courts. The update also makes spoken directions sound more natural and improves route alternatives and entrance details. The feature is live for users in the United States and India and will later expand to CarPlay and Android Auto. Leer más

Additional features include proactive traffic alerts, an upgraded Lens experience for on‑the‑spot place information, and wider rollout across Android and iOS devices in the United States. Leer más

Google Maps is integrating Gemini, Google’s AI chatbot, into core navigation features. Users can now ask open‑ended questions, receive restaurant recommendations along a route, and have the route adjusted on the fly. Gemini also pulls data from Calendar, provides proactive traffic alerts, and powers visual cues in spoken directions using billions of Street View images and a massive place database. The system aims to deliver trusted, real‑world answers without hallucinations, offering a conversational, expert‑like experience directly within the Maps interface. Leer más
