Google announced on Thursday that Google Maps users can now access Gemini hands-free while walking and cycling.
The update comes a few months after Google Maps rolled out its Gemini-powered hands-free, conversational driving experience.
The announcement marks Google’s ongoing efforts to plug Gemini into more parts of people’s everyday lives, while shifting Google Maps from static directions to real-time, conversational navigation.
If you’re cycling, you can ask Gemini questions while remaining focused on the road, Google says.
You can ask questions like “What’s my ETA?” or “When’s my next meeting?” Plus, you could ask Gemini to “Text Emily I’m 10 minutes behind” so you can communicate with others while keeping your grip on the handlebars.
