if any navigation app Popular in half the world is Google Maps. Google service has many interesting features and tools; One of them allows us to locate the mobile phone.

However, the search giant continues to update it with new features; some of those Based on Artificial Intelligence. They promise to revamp the user experience, so we can’t wait any longer.

Artificial intelligence is coming to Google Maps, or almost

Gemini means a lot for Google: it is its new application that replaces Google Bard and brings this productive artificial intelligence closer to our mobile phone, it is also the new name of Google Assistant and, as if that were not enough, the name of its native language model.

Mountain View company has been deployed for some time artificial intelligence news It makes them smarter across all their services. Google Maps is no exception when it comes to futuristic place searching, and these three new features were introduced a few weeks ago.

First of all, when we label the search function “futuristic” we do so for a reason: We can ask maps exactly what we are looking for. It can be understood better with an example. Imagine we want to drink a coffee, until now we were writing “coffee shop” but from now on we will do it in more precise terms like “coquette cafe where they serve Colombian coffee”.

Thanks to productive artificial intelligence Maps will understand our desireand it will give us the categorized results. In this sense, it obtains information from 250 million places and more than 300 million user reviews.

Seems like magic, right? The second innovation is not surprising at all: Sorting of the best lists by city. When we visit a new place, we can get information from public user lists that group the most interesting places. Such recommendations will go one step further and now appear in a ranking that makes it easier to find the best recommendations.

Finally, it is again about Artificial Intelligence and the ability to find places of interest. Now, Google AI is capable of finding the most recommended sites by the community, with an extra addition: add summaries with photos and comments.

These changes improve the maps and navigation app, but they have a problem: These are only available in the United States. Like many new features, these start in the hometown of the famous company, so we are left with only one alternative; keep waiting. We’ll do that, but we won’t deny that the wait has gotten a little difficult because we’re looking forward to trying them out to get the most out of Google Maps.
