Google Maps just got a HUGE AI upgrade.
Now it's more like ChatGPT, but for maps.
Here are 5 mind-blowing AI features of NEW Google Maps:
(number 3 is my favorite)
1. Conversational Map Search
Instead of normal searching now you can directly chat with Google Maps and ask for any information.
AI will use Maps' information, including business details, photos, ratings, and reviews, to provide trustworthy results.
2. Quick AI Suggestions
Get AI-powered suggestions on the go.
If it starts raining, ask Maps for "activities for a rainy day" and get suggestions like comedy shows or movie theaters nearby.
3. Immersive View
An entirely new way to preview every step of your journey!
It uses AI to stitch together street-level imagery to create a 3D model of a place.
It will even simulate traffic and weather conditions so you can avoid riding during rainy weather or heavy traffic
. Lens in Maps
Lens in Maps uses AI and augmented reality to help you quickly understand your surroundings.
You can point your camera to find information about nearby ATMs, transit stations, restaurants, coffee shops and stores.
5. Photo-first Results
For some search terms, you'll get photo-first results based on billions of photos shared by the Google Maps community.
Google uses AI and advanced image recognition models to show you a list of places that match exactly what you are looking for.
