Google is adding several AI-based features to its mapping products, including the ability to use Gemini inside Google Maps to get suggestions on places to check out.
Why it matters: It's the latest in a wave of updates from Google and the rest of the tech sector, all eager to show they are using AI anywhere and everywhere.
Driving the news:
