- The hidden code points to another integration of Gemini and Google Maps
- You can ask Gemini about places on the map
- There is no official word about when the function will really be launched
We have seen a handful of Gemini Ai characteristics added to Google Maps so far, and it seems that another integration is on its way: an emerging option to ask the AI model about any location you are looking for on a map.
The function is not yet live, but the code for her was seen by Android Authority in the latest version of Google Maps for Android. If you invoke Gemini with a selected place on Google Maps, you will see a Ask about the place button on the standard search box.
Touch that button, and the location reference is attached to its search for Gemini, so you can ask the AI what kind of place it is, how to drive there, whether it is suitable for families, what is their history or any Another thing like you.
It is the last of a series of contextual ‘chips that have been added to the Gemini Assistant, who try to anticipate what you are going to look for; A chip may be shown that Ask the screen either Ask about the videoFor example, depending on what you are seeing.
The rapid expansion of Gemini
Attend
There is no official word about when this additional functionality of Google Maps could be launched, but taking into account that the code is in its place, it shouldn’t take long to appear. It is the last example that Gemini obtains its deepest hooks in Google and other developers applications.
In recent months we have seen updates that allow Google Gemini to take more control of your smart home, see what is on your phone’s screen and summarize your messages on Google Chat so you don’t have to read each.
The updates also appear in the applications for photos, music, telephone calls and climate, with extensions that link the Bot AI with applications such as Spotify and WhatsApp. It seems that the influence and scope of Gemini will grow and grow.
All this is happening, while the complicated issue of AI hallucinations remains a problem: hopefully Gemini does not provide users with no false information on tourist access points, famous reference points or local coffee shops (maybe verify the details , just to be sure).
