Google puts conversational Gemini into Google Maps on Apple CarPlay, available now for US drivers
Google is bringing its Gemini assistant to Google Maps on Apple CarPlay, almost a year after Android Auto. Drivers tap the Gemini icon on the car screen and can ask multi-step questions, such as suggestions for a place to visit and then directions that avoid toll roads. It also takes spoken reports of traffic problems. It is available today for US drivers.
- If you use Google Maps on CarPlay, update the app and look for the Gemini icon. Try it on a trip you already know before you rely on it.
- For anyone driving for work, such as deliveries or site visits, try asking for a route with several stops by voice and compare it with the plan you made yourself.
