Now even CarPlay users can talk to Gemini during Google Maps navigation

Google Gemini support for Android Auto has been gradually expanding since last year, including integration into Google Maps. Now, the tech giant is bringing Gemini capabilities to Apple CarPlay users during navigation. This update is available now across the United States, with a global rollout underway. Gemini's reach continues to expand across Google's various products, including smart home devices and, now, automobiles.

While Gemini's presence in Android Auto has occasionally led to humorous issues, the integration is continually improving. The arrival of Gemini's navigation features on Apple CarPlay represents a significant upgrade for users seeking hands-free assistance while on the road. During navigation in Google Maps, users can now engage in conversation with Gemini to discover alternative routes, locate fuel stations, and receive guidance on new destinations to include in their journey.
