From CNET: Google is introducing a new Gemini AI feature to the Google Maps app on Thursday called Ask Maps. Described as a "conversational experience," the feature allows users to interact naturally with the app -- asking follow-up questions, rephrasing queries and exploring new prompts -- similar to Gemini for Home devices.
While Google Maps has long offered route-based voice navigation, Ask Maps goes much deeper to answer questions about trip details and the surrounding area.
In one case, Google suggests using Ask Maps to find a nearby charging station if your phone's battery is dying. In another, Ask Maps can be used to find a well-lit tennis court for evening play. The new feature also offers in-depth recommendations for stops and tips when visiting popular tourist destinations.
