Ask Maps questions, drive with immersive navigation.
Google Maps gets a major Gemini-powered upgrade. Ask Maps lets you ask complex, real-world questions about places and get personalized answers. Immersive Navigation adds vivid 3D routes with lanes, landmarks, and smarter guidance for a more intuitive driving experience. Rollout live in US and India.
Ask Maps analyzes over 300 million places and 500 million community reviews to suggest stops along a route, provide ETAs, and offer insider tips like hidden hiking trails or free entry options, making itinerary building seamless.
Ask Maps is rolling out on Android, iOS, and desktop, allowing users to start planning on one device and continue navigation on another, with consistent personalization across platforms.
Ask Maps personalizes responses by analyzing saved places and search history, so when asking for restaurant recommendations, it automatically filters for vegan options and finds convenient midway meeting spots matching user preferences.
Ask Maps enables users to book reservations, save places to lists, share with friends, get directions, and navigate with just a few taps, converting exploration into actionable steps without switching apps.
Ask Maps lets users ask conversational questions like 'Where can I charge my phone without waiting in line?' and receives personalized recommendations with a customized map, eliminating the need to sift through reviews manually.
