Google Maps is getting a big AI update that will curate locations, display AI-generated review summaries, and let you ask questions about a spot.
Google Maps is getting a big update that’s supposed to help you find new places to visit with AI. Starting this week, you’ll be able to explore more locations with Immersive View and search for specific spots based on a descriptive query like “things to do with friends at night.” Google will then use its Gemini AI model to come up with “inspirational collections” matching that description.
During a press briefing, Google Maps head Miriam Daniel demonstrated how this might work by selecting a restaurant and entering, “Is it a quiet atmosphere?” Google Maps then returned an answer saying the location “has a lively atmosphere and a cozy feel.” Beneath the response, you’ll see the reviews Gemini used to inform its answer. These features are rolling out on Android and iOS this week in the US, building upon the AI integration Google began experimenting with earlier this year.
