Google Maps Introduces 3D View with Gemini AI Support

Jakarta (ANTARA) – Google Maps has added three-dimensional map views and artificial intelligence integration to make the navigation experience more intuitive and informative.

According to a report from Carscoops on Thursday, 12 March local time, one of the most striking changes is the introduction of a 3D map view that provides a more realistic visual representation of the surrounding environment.

This feature enables users to see buildings and landscapes more clearly when following travel routes.

Beyond the visual improvements, the update also introduces a number of new navigation features designed to help drivers better understand road conditions.

The map now displays additional information such as vehicle lanes, pedestrian crossings, and traffic lights.

The system will automatically zoom to allow drivers to see road details more clearly when preparing to turn or change lanes.

The update also brings artificial intelligence support that makes navigation instructions easier to understand.

With AI assistance, the application can provide directional guidance that is more natural and relevant to the user’s travel conditions.

Additionally, users can obtain more comprehensive information about their chosen route.

The update also introduces a feature called Ask Maps, powered by Gemini AI, which allows users to ask questions directly to the application using AI technology.

Through this feature, users can request place recommendations or plan journeys more easily.

Ask Maps leverages AI technology to process various information such as user reviews and business location data.

As a result, the application can provide more relevant answers when users are searching for restaurants, tourist destinations, or specific locations.

This update is being rolled out gradually to users in several regions including the United States and India, with plans for wider availability in the future.
