Overview
- Google says Ask Maps is now live for all users in the United States and India on Android and iOS.
- The feature lets people tap Ask under the search bar and type or speak plain-English requests for routes, places, and multi-stop itineraries.
- The chat view saves past questions so you can pick up where you left off, and it also lets you delete conversation history.
- Recommendations draw on reviews, Popular Times, and event listings, and the tool can use the sun’s position to suggest photo spots or tell you when to leave for sunset.
- Google says India-specific additions are planned, and desktop access is not available yet.
