Google is expanding Ask Maps with new AI-powered capabilities designed to make the feature more useful through conversation. Rather than relying only on traditional searches, users can interact with Maps using natural-language requests.

The update is intended to help people complete more tasks within Maps by describing what they need conversationally. Google says Ask Maps can now do more than its earlier functionality, although the available tools and experiences may vary by location.

Ask Maps is also expanding into additional countries, giving more users access to Google’s conversational Maps experience. The international rollout accompanies the feature updates announced by Google.
