Google Maps is going to start helping you find new places to visit and answer questions about different locations thanks to Gemini.

Google has started to integrate its Gemini AI into Google Maps, and the interesting new features should prove quickly useful.

We tend to think of Google Maps as a straight-up navigation tool, like a digital compass that gets us from point A to point B without getting hopelessly lost. But no, there's more you can use it for.

Google has unveiled a whole host of new features for its Google Maps, Waze and Google Earth apps. The apps will get a number of new features thanks to the AI model Gemini.
