"The results started with a map with pins for all the locations listed so I could see at a glance where they are. Scrolling down, I saw four different options, each one with a photo, brief description, rating summary, hours, distance away, a "People talk most about" section that shows which phrases reviews often mention, and a link to learn more. Tapping that link opened a full card for the location, including review highlights and the option to navigate there with Google Maps."
"When I tried a search for "fun things to do nearby with my kids," Gemini returned playgrounds, museums, and mini golf courses, along with a few bullet points for each on what makes it a good spot. I did several more searches for restaurants and businesses, and the photos were mostly of the exterior or interior of a building (it seems to be the first photo that comes up on the company's Google business page). I tried asking for recommendations for a specific dish, curious if Gemini would present photos of that specific food at the places it recommended, but the photos were still mostly of buildings."
Gemini's app provides local search results in a rich visual format with photos, tips for visiting, review summaries, ratings, hours, distance, and links sourced from Google Maps. Results begin with a map showing pins for listed locations and present multiple options with a photo, brief description, rating summary, and a "People talk most about" excerpt drawn from reviews. Selecting a result opens a full location card with review highlights and a navigation link to Google Maps. Photo results tend to show business exteriors or interiors (often the first image on a business profile) rather than specific dishes. The visual format replaces prior mostly text results.
