2 days agoGoogle Maps launches Ask Maps
Ask Maps works by allowing users to pose complex, contextual queries rather than searching for a specific place or category. 'Is there a public tennis court with lights on that I can play at tonight?' is the example Google offers. The system draws on personalisation signals, including a user's saved places and past searches, to weight its answers, so a user who has previously sought out vegan restaurants will find vegan-friendly options surfaced without having to specify.
