Google Maps launches Ask Maps AI chat in 150+ countries
Google Maps just rolled out its new Ask Maps AI chat feature to over 150 countries after starting in the US earlier this year.
Now, users everywhere can get personalized trip planning and real-time transit updates, so figuring out your next move while traveling just got a lot easier.
Ask Maps adds Gmail-powered recommendations
Ask Maps now includes "Personal Intelligence," which uses information from your Gmail (like flight or hotel reservations) to give you custom recommendations: think finding things to do near your hotel before a flight.
You have to turn this on yourself, and Google Calendar support is coming soon.
Plus, you can order food on the go, pick hotels based on what matters to you, book hotels directly in chat, or even suggest map edits by sending a photo, all designed to make getting around smoother for everyone.
