Google Maps is introducing AI tools to help users and developers create interactive projects. The new features include a builder agent for generating map prototypes, a styling agent for custom map designs, and a code assistant toolkit that connects with Google Maps documentation. Additionally, Google is enhancing consumer features with Gemini-powered updates for navigation and real-time data.

Google has launched a Google Maps tool in the Gemini API, enabling developers to enhance their applications with geospatial data from over 250 million locations. This feature allows for improved user experiences in areas like travel, real estate, and logistics by providing grounded responses with relevant location-based information. Developers can also combine this tool with Google Search for more comprehensive answers to location-specific queries.
