Now you can do more on Google Maps than just find your way to a place.<\/p>\n

A Google blog post <\/a>published Thursday has announced that Ask Maps \u2014 which uses Google\u2019s AI assistant, Gemini \u2014 has new agentic capabilities that allows for users to do something like, say, order food.<\/p>\n

\u201cAsk Maps can now handle complex, multi-step tasks for you using new agentic capabilities,\u201d the blog post explains. \u201cIf you want to order takeout before leaving the office, just ask Maps to \u2018order spicy pad kee mao with seafood for me to pick up on my way home.\u2019 <\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019ll find open restaurants along your route that serve what you\u2019re 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\u2019re looking for directly to your cart so you can easily review and complete your order.\u201d <\/p>\n

But it\u2019s not just food-ordering that\u2019s a part of Ask Maps\u2019s new offerings: Users can book hotels, find local events to check out, and even cater traveling plans to flights. <\/p>\n

Square and Toast have been confirmed as partners in this new initiative. Uber Eats is reportedly next on the list. <\/p>\n

News of Ask Maps\u2019s new capabilities arrives just a month after Waze<\/a> \u2014 another Google navigation app \u2014 announced similar features. <\/p>\n

Google confirmed that the new Ask Maps features are being rolled out in Australia, Brazil, Canada, Indonesia, Japan, and Mexico, plus over 150 countries and territories in English. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Now you can do more on Google Maps than just find your way to a place.
