Ask Maps is Google Maps’ biggest transformation in over a decade. By bringing Gemini model capabilities together with the world’s freshest map, we’ve made it easier than ever to get answers to real-world questions.
We’ve been thrilled to see how Ask Maps is helping people use Maps in entirely new ways — from finding a restaurant with great vibes that’s still quiet enough for conversation to mapping out a scenic three-hour motorcycle ride. Building on this, we’re now making Ask Maps even more helpful with new agentic capabilities, real-time transit information, Personal Intelligence, and conversational contributions so you can get more done. It’s also rolling out in Australia, Brazil, Canada, Indonesia, Japan, and Mexico, along with over 150 countries and territories in English.
Order food, find the perfect hotel, and discover events.
Ask Maps can now handle complex, multi-step tasks for you using new agentic capabilities. If you want to order takeout before leaving the office, just ask Maps to “order spicy pad kee mao with seafood for me to pick up on my way home.” It’ll find open restaurants along your route that serve what you’re craving and can even consider things like your saved places or specific dietary needs. Once you select a restaurant, Ask Maps can automatically add the dish you’re looking for directly to your cart so you can easily review and complete your order. Food ordering is rolling out now with partners like Square and Toast, with Uber Eats coming soon. We’ll continue to evolve these experiences as we co-develop the Universal Commerce Protocol for Food with partners.
