Overview
- Gemini-driven walking and cycling navigation is now live on iOS in regions where Gemini is available, with Android support rolling out soon.
- Users can ask questions like “What neighborhood am I in?” to receive contextual guidance tailored to their current route.
- Route-aware suggestions include top-rated restaurants and other nearby spots based on up-to-date information from Google Maps.
- Cyclists get hands-free assistance for safety, including ETA checks, next meeting status, and the ability to send text messages while riding.
- The update extends Gemini beyond its earlier driving integration and follows broader AI additions across Search, Chrome, and Google Photos.
