Google Brings Gemini AI to Google Maps

Maps, the latest Google product to get the Gemini touch, following Gmail, Docs, Sheets, Drive, Meet, Photos, and Android, is now Gemini-powered, introducing two new features.

The first feature is Ask Maps, which lets you ask questions and get relevant answers to plan trips, and the second one is Immersive Navigation, which renders the route in 3D.

Ask Maps simplifies trip planning by letting you ask questions about the route/stops, with Gemini fetching from 300M+ places and reviews to answer and Immersive Navigation renders the route in 3D, using Gemini to analyze Street View and aerial imagery to show buildings, overpasses, crosswalks, and more.

Other upgrades include more conversational voice guidance, Street View previews of destinations with parking info, and trade-offs for alternative routes.

Google is showing the tech’s value by putting it where it matters most — into people’s daily lives. With Gemini now in Maps, Gmail, Docs, and Android, the company reaches billions without asking anyone to install anything new.
