Google and Apple Maps Updated with New Artificial Intelligence Features

Google Maps and Apple's Maps applications have been updated with new features supported by artificial and human intelligence to improve travel planning and the navigation experience.

Google Maps offers alternatives such as indoor photos, street-level scenes, and immersive aerial views to explore places to visit. The Immersive Navigation mode makes finding directions easier by highlighting 3D buildings and landmarks along the route. Meanwhile, the 'Ask Maps' feature functions like an AI-powered travel planner, delivering conversational responses and personalized recommendations.

Apple's Maps application incorporates sharper aerial views, 3D perspectives, the Look Around mode, and Local Lists features containing crowdsourced recommendations for popular attractions.
