Google adds a Map tool to Gemini, but only on phones

Google is continuing to expand the capabilities of its Gemini AI assistant with a fresh update tailored specifically for mobile users. The tech giant has officially integrated a map tool into the mobile application.

Alongside the map integration, Google is also tweaking the user interface by replacing the forward slash (/) with an @ symbol. This new symbol is used for quickly surfacing and accessing various AI skills and connectors within the app.

At present, the newly introduced map tool is exclusively available on smartphones. There is no official word yet on when or if this feature will be rolled out to the desktop web interface for computer users.

This update highlights Google's ongoing effort to make AI assistants more context-aware and useful for on-the-go tasks, where location-based services and quick access to specialized skills are essential.

For tech enthusiasts and mobile users in Uzbekistan and the broader region, these interface and tool updates signify a steady shift toward more integrated and seamless AI-driven mobile experiences.
