Use Gemini in Google Maps for navigation while walking and biking

Gemini in navigation helps you get things done while driving — it’s like talking to a friend in the passenger seat. Now, it’s launching for walking and cycling. When you’re exploring and navigating with Maps, Gemini can be your personal walking tour guide. Just ask, “OK Google, what neighborhood am I in?” Hungry? Follow up with “What are top-rated restaurants nearby?” and Gemini will recommend options along your route based on Maps’ fresh, comprehensive information about the real world.

If you’re cycling, Gemini gives you hands-free help so you can stay safe and focused on the road. Ask “What’s my ETA?” or “When’s my next meeting?” Running late? Say “Text Sarah I’m 10 minutes behind,” and your message will send while you keep a grip on the handlebars.

Gemini in navigation for walking and cycling is rolling out now worldwide on iOS and Android wherever Gemini is available.
