And just like the Artificial intelligence has been transforming our experiences and routines as a whole, more specifically in the conversational spectrum of Chatbots and Virtual Assistants; geolocation experience does not fall behind. Exactly! That's because the Google Maps has been adopting this technology massively, which creates a universe of possibilities and new resources on the platform they promise facilitate search and geolocation, as well as making the increasingly real and immersive experience. We separate 5 Amazing (and Already Available) Features in Google Maps that exemplify the potential of AI. Follow along.
Conversational Map Search
Speaking of conversational experience, it is possible, for example, “talk” directly to Google Maps and ask it for any type of information. Perhaps ask about food options in the neighborhood; or mechanic services in a certain area.
THE IA will use information from Google Maps itself – such as business details, photos, ratings and reviews – to respond and interact with very reliable data.
Live View on Maps (Augmented Reality)
You Google Maps maps merged with your reality (more specifically with your smartphone's camera). Just tap the camera icon to search using the Live View feature.
The functionality has high potential, mainly for geolocationFor example, tourists can navigate live through AR arrows, guiding them to their destinations. They can also access opening hours and reviews of various locations. live on the map in augmented reality.
Immersive Vision
Google Maps provides photorealistic views of some locations (especially of monuments) so that it is possible explore such places quite accurately before even visiting them.
The feature also provides access to useful information, such as weather forecasts and peak crowd times. Some locations also have internal views.
Multiple Search
Google Maps allows you to multiple search combining words and images; which makes the even more natural location experience.
For example, if you want to find an ice cream shop in your area, you can include an image of an ice cream shop along with the text "near me," and AI and search engines will be able to read and understand user intent and generate reliable results based on millions of local businesses on Google Maps.
Search AI Suggestions
THE Maps search is now ready to generate suggestions when asked by users. For example, "activities for a rainy day" will generate options for activities and indoor locations in the region.
You can search for “free entertainment options”; and the search engines along with AI return with programs and activities for those on a budget. Amazing!
And it doesn't stop there! The Google promises to make Maps increasingly “smarter”. The intersection of geographic information and research data is increasingly symbiotic; and the interactions and research possibilities are increasingly natural – simulating human conversations and even predicting intentions. All of this is continuous effort to advance Artificial Intelligence, of the Natural Language Processing and the Data Mining. More news on the horizon!
