The Google Maps app is about to get some useful options that will be possible thanks to Gemini AI.

Here's What We Know

With Gemini, users will be able to get more information about establishments and choose the most suitable ones for themselves. In a live conversation format, you can describe to Gemini where you'd like to go and even specify how quiet it is or what attractions are nearby.

Drivers will be able to get information on what notable places to see along the route, where to stop, what to see, find a restaurant or cafe along the way.

Google Maps will show lanes, pedestrian crossings and road signs more clearly, and will also prompt you in time which lane you should drive in so that you don't miss an exit.

The new Google Maps features will first be available to US users on Android and iOS this week, and will launch in other regions over the next few months.

The Immersive View feature will appear in 150 new cities around the world. As a reminder, this option is an advanced mode of Google Earth 3D and allows you to see what different places and objects look like in different weather conditions, lighting and time of day. While driving, Immersive View will tell you where a difficult turn is and where you can park. The update will start rolling out this week on Android and iOS in cities where the feature is already available.
