Gemini Gets Smarter: Now Offers Automatic Navigation with Google Maps

In a move to improve its AI assistant offering, Google has updated the Gemini app to automatically launch navigation in Google Maps when users ask for directions.

This new feature streamlines the process for Android users seeking on-the-go guidance, eliminating the need to confirm their request after speaking a destination.

Previously, Gemini would display the route information and require an additional tap to initiate navigation.

This update brings Gemini closer to feature parity with its predecessor, Google Assistant, which has offered automatic navigation for some time.

Google seems to be steadily adding functionalities to Gemini, suggesting a growing focus on this AI assistant as it evolves.
