Gemini app now delivers an improved Google Maps response
With AI chatbots making great digital assistants, Gemini shows an improved response from Google Maps.
Before this week, when someone using the Gemini app requested information that relied on Google Maps, the AI chatbot would respond mostly in text with a pinned map at the end showing locations related to the query that Gemini was asked to answer. Thanks to an update that Google started rolling out earlier this week, a response on the Gemini app that includes info sourced from Google Maps will now start with the map instead of showing it last. Emoji-themed pins on the map make it easier for the user to tell different places apart.
Gemini's Google Maps based responses will now start with a map first, followed by text
Locations mentioned by Gemini are shown on a card that starts with a picture and a rating based on stars followed by the rest of Gemini's response. You can tap to view cards that show the things that people discuss the most about the location based on Gemini's summary of Google Maps reviews. And there are also tips from reviewers. Not only does the improved response look much better, but the information is also given to you in a manner that makes it easier for you to decide which place you should be heading to.
The change made by Google makes sense since Gemini users would be better helped by viewing the map of the area they asked Gemini about first followed by the detailed text that supports the map. The new look for Google Maps responses via the Gemini app is rolling out now for the generative AI app on mobile and desktops in English.
