Google Maps now integrates Gemini AI to extract location data from screenshots, streamlining travel planning. Users can upload screenshots of travel itineraries, addresses (like those from ChatGPT), or online articles, and Google Maps will automatically identify and add locations to its saved places. This eliminates manual entry and copy-pasting. The feature, accessible via the 'You' tab, requires photo access permission and is rolling out to Android and iOS users. While the author prefers ChatGPT for trip planning, this Google Maps update is beneficial for everyone.
