TL;DR
- Code strings suggest that Google is working to integrate its Nano Banana AI image generation model into Google Maps’ Street View.
- Users will soon be able to restyle images of their favorite places in the Maps app using Nano Banana.
- Additionally, the “3D” map layer may soon be renamed to “Raised buildings,” and the Map type sheet is getting a rounded-corner redesign.
Google’s Nano Banana image generation model is amazing. You can not only use it for its ability to generate images (duh), but you can also use it to restore old photos, remove fences, and even reimagine furniture. Google has been on a spree, adding its AI tools to all of its products, and while some integrations like Gemini and Nano Banana in Chrome make sense, we’ve now spotted Google working to integrate Nano Banana into…Google Maps?
