Google has introduced a comprehensive suite of Gemini artificial intelligence (AI) powers to Google Maps, following the release of reminiscent capabilities in Google Photos too, that let users use natural language to resolve photo-related queries.
Alphabet-owned Google announced three top-notch Gemini-centric features in Google Maps, that begin with Ask Maps functionality. It allows users to type natural language queries in the browser.
Additionally, the search engine giant allows Gemini to provide summaries of user reviews in Google Maps, letting users immediately get a value impression instead of reading an ample amount of reviews.

Moreover, Gemini allows users to ask about any particular place from Maps through a question box beneath the user reviews section “Ask Maps about this place.”
These Gemini-powered Maps are all set to be rolled out this week on both Android and iOS in the United States (US). Google hasn’t confirmed the timeline of its broader release. However, Google has confirmed Android Authority about the incorporation of Gemini-powered features into Maps on Android Auto too.
