Google is reportedly rolling out an "Ask about place" chip that leverages Gemini in the Maps app. When selecting a place and surfacing Gemini, users can tap this chip and write a query about it for the AI to fulfill with directions,

You can ask Gemini for opening and closing times, what services are offered, what a store sells, for reviews, for details about the menu, and other information. The information appears to come from the Google Maps listing page, not the company's website. However, if specific information like pricing is included in reviews, Gemini can access it.

Google Maps adds Gemini AI to provide real-time answers about places, routes and reviews directly in the app for a seamless user experience.
