Google Maps just got a brain. Gemini will turn it into a true co-pilot
- Google Maps is getting its biggest upgrade in years, powered by Gemini.
- The update allows users to interact with Maps through conversational queries.
- Users can ask questions like 'Is there a milkshake spot along my route?' without touching their phones.
While the upgrade to Google Maps with Gemini offers promising features for enhancing user experience, the persistent mapping inaccuracies in regions like Africa highlight the limitations of technology in addressing real-world challenges. It raises questions about the effectiveness of AI in improving navigation where foundational data is lacking.
