Ask Maps tip 💡
It can be tricky to find affordable gas nearby. Ask Maps showed me the range of prices at nearby stations — and even broke down costs by fuel type.
Ask Maps makes it super easy to get timely, helpful, real-world details.

We’ve reimagined the way our Gemini models power @GoogleMaps. Here are some use cases you can try (and the advancements that make them possible):
“Find a well-lit pickleball court that’s usually less busy on Tuesday nights”
➡️ Maps performs multi-step reasoning across 300M+ community-shared photos and reviews to find the exact vibe and place you’re looking for
“We’re driving from San Francisco to Big Sur, plan the quickest route for me to drive there that avoids tolls and has a highly-rated coffee shop along the way”
➡️ The app synthesizes live geospatial data (traffic, weather, etc.) into insights that can inform your timely decisions, and visualizes the best way to get you there
“Take the places on my 'Austin' list and plan out an itinerary for my weekend trip. I want to eat the best beef brisket, see some nature, and go two-stepping”
➡️ Maps now connects your saved favorites and search history with community feedback left on the app to predict what you’ll need for your next adventure

We’re bringing new capabilities powered by Gemini models to @googlemaps.
With Ask Maps, get answers to complex questions about any place you want. For example it can help with complex requests like "Find me the best 3-hour family hikes in the Grand Tetons and a spot for a packed lunch”. Will try this next time I'm there:)
Rolling out now in the US and India.

We've been shipping updates to @googlemaps faster than ever, and Street View imagery is a big part of how we make the map super fresh… @MorningBrew filmed a ride-along in one of our iconic Street View cars from Bosnia to NYC - check it out ⬇️🚙
They let @macyagilliam in the Google Maps car and the first thing she did was immortalize herself on Street View and take it through a drive thru...
But wouldn't we all?
