The new "Ask Maps" feature allows you to ask complex questions like "a quiet cafe with a veranda and good Wi-Fi near the park" and receive personalized answers based on your search history and saved places. Plus, a completely redesigned Immersive Navigation with real-time 3D route visualization.
I remember discussing this project with one of my subscribers from Google last year.
I'm really enjoying how genai functionality is being integrated not only into specialized tools like Claude but also into everyday tools like Google Maps.
And it's especially nice to see how Google, which was once predicted to decline, is gradually regaining attention.
