Getting things done when navigating just got simpler and easier
We’re bringing Gemini, your AI assistant, to our hands-free driving experience in the Google Maps app. That means it’s even simpler to find places along your route, check for available EV chargers or on Android, share your ETA with friends. No fumbling required — now you can just ask.
You can get help with multi-step tasks, like: “Is there a budget-friendly restaurant with vegan options along my route, something within a couple miles? … What's parking like there?” Followed by, “OK, let’s go there.” You can even ask “Oh, by the way, can you also add a calendar event for soccer practice tomorrow for 5 p.m.?”
With your permission, Gemini connects with your Calendar and adds the event automatically. You can ask for something more specific, like “What dishes are popular there?” or even catch up on last night's game or news, all without taking your hands off the wheel.
Helping drivers is a key part of what makes Google Maps reliable, so we’re making it even easier to report traffic disruptions. Simply say, “I see an accident,” “Looks like there’s flooding ahead” or “Watch out for that slowdown” to report disruptions instantly. Gemini in navigation starts rolling out in the coming weeks on Android and iOS everywhere Gemini is available, with Android Auto on the way.
