Google's Ask Maps offers US food ordering, hotel booking, tickets
Technology
Google just gave its "Ask Maps" feature a handy upgrade: users in the US can now order food from nearby restaurants (with options like Uber Eats, Toast, and Square), book hotels that fit their budget and location preferences, and even buy tickets for concerts or live events.
Ask Maps 'Personal Intelligence' transit widget
A new "Personal Intelligence" feature means Ask Maps can personalize recommendations using info from your Gmail and Google Calendar (if you're cool with it).
Plus, there's a live transit widget for real-time updates on delays.
These upgrades are rolling out in all markets where Ask Maps is available, with the transit widget available wherever Ask Maps works.
