Ask Maps questions, drive with immersive navigation.
Google Maps gets a major Gemini-powered upgrade. Ask Maps lets you ask complex, real-world questions about places and get personalized answers. Immersive Navigation adds vivid 3D routes with lanes, landmarks, and smarter guidance for a more intuitive driving experience. Rollout live in US and India.
Google Maps is reimagining navigation with Gemini.
The new Ask Maps feature lets you ask real-world questions conversationally and get personalized recommendations powered by data from over 300M places and insights from 500M+ contributors.
Instead of searching multiple tabs, you can simply ask things like where to charge your phone, find a tennis court at night, or plan stops on a road trip. Maps then shows options on a customized map and lets you take action by booking, saving, or navigating.
Google is also introducing Immersive Navigation, the biggest navigation update in over a decade. It adds vivid 3D route views, highlights lanes, traffic lights, and crosswalks, and gives more natural voice guidance to help drivers prepare for turns, merges, and exits.
The result is a more intuitive way to explore places and navigate routes with real-world context and smarter guidance.
