Google Maps taps Gemini for an ‘Ask about place’ chip with directions and more

Google is introducing a new feature in its Maps application called the "Ask about place" chip, powered by its AI model, Gemini. This feature allows users to ask questions about a selected location, providing information such as directions and travel details. The feature is currently being tested and may not function perfectly at all times. Additionally, Google is working on another update to improve user-friendliness, which will display essential information like parking availability and estimated time of arrival (ETA) upon setting a destination.

Google Maps might predict more than just the traffic for you soon

Google Maps is testing new features that will enhance user experience by providing real-time updates on parking availability, fuel-efficient routes, and estimated time of arrival (ETA) directly from the initial overview screen after entering a destination. Currently, users can only see traffic conditions, distance, and travel time. The new features will allow users to view parking availability marked by a "P" icon, fuel-efficient route options, and precise ETA. These enhancements aim to improve trip planning and are expected to be included in future app updates. Additionally, some users have reported issues with their Timeline history disappearing from the web version, possibly due to a shift in how Google stores location history.
