Google Maps users will soon have a smarter AI assistant
Los Angeles Times
|November 06, 2025
Drivers navigating traffic on their morning commutes will be able to do much more than just find directions and the nearest gas station on Google Maps.
IDREES ABBAS SOPA Images/Light Rocket GOOGLE'S AI helper Gemini will enable users to get answers to more complex queries while they're driving.
In the coming weeks, Google will add its artificial-intelligence-powered assistant Gemini into Google Maps, making it possible for drivers to get answers to more complex questions while they're on the road.
Users will be able to chat with the AI assistant by saying “Hey, Google” or tapping on the Gemini icon in Google Maps. Google Maps currently has an AI assistant within the app, but it can answer only limited questions.
In a demonstration of how Gemini works in Google Maps, the assistant answered questions about budget-friendly vegan restaurants along a driver’s route and parking options. It even added a calendar event for soccer practice.
“It really is like having a friend who’s a local expert sitting right next to you in the passenger seat,” said Vishal Dutta, group product manager for Google Maps at a virtual press event.
