It can also help you book a hotel when you describe what you need in normal words.

Google Maps can suggest fun things to do nearby, like festivals or concerts, with links to buy tickets.

These features are rolling out in more than 150 countries and territories.

In India, you can ask questions in Hindi instead of English.

A new optional feature called Personal Intelligence can use your email to make better travel suggestions.

You can also get live updates for buses, trains, metro and ferries.

It is like having a smart travel helper in your pocket!
