Google Maps AI on iOS: Early Impressions
The potential for AI in Google Maps is huge. However, while interesting, the results so far are unimpressive.
In early February, Google announced a large Local Guide test of generative AI on mobile Google Maps. Initially only available on Android, it's now available for iOS and I have been able to get a sense of the capabilities. As we noted in our newsletter, it appears to be SGE bolted into mobile Google Maps.
Great Expectations
It is, like SGE, still a little slow and verbose.
