Google Maps is a ubiquitous tool used by millions of people around the world to navigate their daily lives. With its detailed maps, real-time traffic updates, and turn-by-turn directions, Google Maps has become an indispensable part of modern life.

In recent years, Google has been incorporating artificial intelligence (AI) into Google Maps to make it even more powerful and user-friendly. AI is being used to improve navigation, and search results, and even provide personalized recommendations.

Here are five new features of Google Maps that are powered by AI

1. Immersive View

Immersive View is a new feature that allows you to see a realistic 3D view of a location. This is done by combining satellite imagery with AI to create a more immersive and realistic experience. Immersive View is currently available for select cities around the world, and it is being expanded to more cities all the time.

2. Lens in Maps

Lens in Maps is a feature that allows you to use your phone’s camera to search for information about a location. This is done by using AI to identify objects and landmarks in your camera’s view and then providing you with information about those objects and landmarks. Lens in Maps can be used to find information about businesses, restaurants, landmarks, and more.

3. AI-Powered Search with Photos

AI-powered Search with Photos is a feature that allows you to search for photos of a location. This is done by using AI to analyze the photos in Google Maps and then providing you with photos that match your search query. AI-powered search with Photos can be used to find photos of businesses, restaurants, landmarks, and more.

4. Advanced Navigation

Advanced Navigation is a feature that provides you with more detailed and accurate navigation instructions. This is done by using AI to analyze real-time traffic data and then providing you with the best route to your destination. Advanced Navigation also provides you with additional information about your route, such as the estimated time of arrival and the current traffic conditions.

5. EV Charging Station Info

EV Charging Station Info is a feature that provides you with information about electric vehicle (EV) charging stations. This is done by using AI to identify and collect data about EV charging stations around the world. EV Charging Station Info can be used to find EV charging stations near you, as well as to get information about the availability of charging stations and the type of chargers that are available.

These are just a few of the new features that Google has added to Maps in recent years. With the continued development of AI, Google Maps is sure to become even more powerful and user-friendly in the years to come.

In addition to these five features, Google is also using AI to power a number of other features in Maps, such as

• Live traffic updates: AI is used to analyze real-time traffic data and then provide you with up-to-date traffic information.
• Personalized recommendations: AI is used to analyze your past search history and then provide you with personalized recommendations for places to visit.
• Indoor maps: AI is used to create indoor maps of businesses and other locations.

As AI continues to develop, we can expect to see even more innovative and useful features added to Google Maps in the years to come.
