Overview
- The rollout begins now with features arriving to Android and iOS in the coming weeks, and Android Auto planned to follow.
- Drivers can complete multi‑step tasks by voice, including finding restaurants or EV chargers along a route, adjusting stops, getting parking details, and sharing ETAs.
- With user permission, Gemini can access Google services from within Maps, such as creating calendar entries linked to a selected destination.
- Voice incident reporting lets users say “I see an accident,” which Gemini logs with location data to update traffic information for others.
- U.S.‑first additions include landmark‑based turn prompts, Proactive Traffic Alerts without an active route, and an AR “Lens built with Gemini” starting in November before a wider rollout.
