Google has introduced a new AI-powered feature in Google Maps that could change the way people search for places.
The company has built a conversational tool using its AI model, Gemini, allowing users to ask real-world questions in a natural way.
Until now, people mostly searched on Google Maps using keywords.
Users had to type short phrases to find locations or services.
With the new “Ask Maps” feature, the process becomes much simpler.
You can now ask questions in everyday language, almost like having a conversation with another person.
Ask Questions the Way You Normally Speak
The new feature lets users ask questions in normal spoken language instead of typing specific keywords.
This makes searching for places much easier and more intuitive.
For example, if someone is heading to Connaught Place in Delhi, they can ask whether it is better to travel by car or take the metro.
At the same time, they can also ask for suggestions for a good coffee shop along the way.
The app will compare both travel options based on factors such as traffic and travel time.
It can also highlight nearby cafés or interesting stops along the route, giving users multiple helpful suggestions in
