Google has begun rolling out Gemini in Google Maps navigation on Apple CarPlay, Engadget reported Wednesday, adding a chatbot control to the iOS Maps interface for drivers who use Maps instead of Apple Maps1.
With Maps open on CarPlay, a Gemini icon appears toward the bottom right of the screen, and tapping it starts a session with Google's chatbot, according to Engadget1.
Google described the feature as a conversational way to find stops on the go, report traffic disruptions and get information about places, and said Gemini can handle multi-part questions, Engadget reported1.
The company said Gemini in navigation is starting to roll out to CarPlay users in the United States and elsewhere, and that it may take a few days to appear on a given device1.
Engadget said the CarPlay change follows Google's announcement a day earlier that it was rolling out Gemini Personal Intelligence to Android Auto, a setting that can pull information from other Google apps when enabled1.
Independent confirmation from Google's own blog was not included in the Engadget account, and no other outlet was in the assignment at filing1.
