Google Maps Adds Gemini for Walking and Cycling

Google Maps Adds Gemini for Walking and Cycling

Google Maps now has a new feature called Gemini that helps you when you're walking or biking.

You can ask Gemini questions like 'What neighborhood am I in?'

or 'What are the best restaurants nearby?'

Gemini will then tell you about the places around you and suggest good spots to visit.

To use Gemini, you can tap a special icon in Google Maps or say 'Hey Google.'

This feature is available on both Android and iPhone.

Google had already added Gemini for driving, taking public transport, and riding two-wheelers, so this is an extension of that feature to walking and biking.
