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

The company is harnessing its Gemini AI and the billions of human-written reviews in Google Maps to push recommendations, create summaries, and provide answers in the mapping app.

Google hopes the next time you're looking for a new restaurant or something to do, you'll find it with Google Maps. Powered by Gemini, Google's generative AI model, Google Maps is getting a recommendations engine that curates experiences and suggestions based on your searches.

Google has integrated its artificial intelligence platform Gemini into apps such as Maps and Waze to make it easier and more elaborate for users.

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.
