Users will now be able to look for experiences and goods on Maps, like asking for "themed birthday cakes" or "unique picnic spots" to locate cake vendors.

According to the corporation, Google Maps would prioritize showing images that users and businesses have uploaded when consumers ask such questions.

Google has linked place labels or descriptions with certain queries through the use of picture recognition.

The company also said that users will see new weather alerts for low-visibility areas due to fog and flooded roads while navigating.

Users in India will begin receiving the suite of new capabilities later this month. In February, AI-powered review summaries made their debut on Maps in the United States. Yelp, Google's rival, also displays business summaries on its updated feed in the United States.

Better navigation directions, improved handling of flyovers (overpasses) and narrow roads, EV charging stations, and community-powered location discovery lists in specific towns are just a few of the India-specific enhancements that Google added to Maps in July.
