Google has launched Ask Maps, a Gemini-powered conversational feature, alongside 3D Immersive Navigation in its biggest Maps update in over a decade.

Google Maps will depend more heavily on artificial intelligence to help people figure out where they want to go and the best way to get there as part of a major redesign unveiled on Thursday.

Gemini rolls out in Google Maps, allowing you to talk to the app like you would a chatbot. Immersive Navigation, meanwhile, will show the buildings and landmarks around you in 3D.

Google Maps is becoming smarter with Gemini, with a new interactive and detailed Immersive Navigation view and Ask Maps features.

Google Maps is getting a new Gemini-powered Ask Maps feature to ask questions in natural language along with new Immersive Navigation.

The AI-powered experience is claimed to be built on information about more than 300 million places available on Google Maps.

The company says the new capabilities draw on information from millions of reviews and websites, with results that include photos, ratings and other visual details.
