Google Maps users will soon see some exciting changes to the popular navigation app, as Google has announced a major update that includes the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) technology.
One of the key features of the update is the improved at-a-glance information available for locations, thanks to Google AI. Users will now be able to see photo highlights and reviews summarizing what people like about a particular place, making it easier to decide where to go.
The AI technology also allows Google Maps to identify a restaurant’s food items, provide cost, potential availability, and dietary restriction information. This will be particularly useful for users looking for specific types of cuisine or with dietary restrictions.
In addition, users will find it easier to discover recommendation lists from top sites and the Google Maps community in select cities in the U.S. and Canada. Curated lists of recommendations will be available by simply searching for a city and swiping through the options.
The update will also introduce trending, top, and gems lists to highlight popular locations when traveling. Initially available in 40 cities, Google plans to expand this feature to more cities in the future.
To further enhance user experience, Google Maps will offer new customization tools for creating lists, including the ability to rank places and link content from social channels. These list updates will be rolling out on both Android and iOS devices later this month.
Finally, users can expect a refreshed design with a cleaner home screen, fewer tabs, and new pin colors to make it easier to find places on the map. Overall, the update aims to make Google Maps even more user-friendly and informative for travelers and locals alike.
