4. As part of the revamp, Google renamed its "Search with Live View" feature to "Lens in Maps." This feature uses AI to recognize and label the objects and places in the user's camera view, such as ATMs, transit stations, restaurants, coffee shops, and stores. The users can also ask the AI to tell them more about these places and how to get there. It will give them the best answers depending on what they want to know and where they are. It also uses AI to overlay the information and directions on the camera view, using augmented reality.
5. Another cool upgrade is Google Maps Search, which uses AI to help users find relevant locations based on their preferences, needs, and context. For example, if the user is looking for a restaurant, Google Maps will show them options that match their taste, budget, and availability. It also uses user-submitted photos and reviews to give them a better idea of what to expect. Users can filter their search results by various criteria, such as ratings, cuisine, or distance.
