Google Maps Is Adding Gemini Support for Walking and Cycling Navigation
Google is expanding the conversational Gemini support in Google Maps to more navigation modes. On Thursday, the Mountain View-based tech giant announced that Gemini in navigation will also support walking and cycling navigation, adding it to the existing four-wheeler and two-wheeler navigations. The new update will enable walkers and cyclists to get hands-free assistance on their route, and even complete certain tasks as sending text messages.
