TL;DR

  • Google is testing a Gemini-powered upgrade for the “Suggest an edit” feature in Google Maps.
  • The new interface replaces the standard form-like experience with a chatbot-style experience that accepts natural language.
  • Suggested edits are still submitted for Google’s review before going live.

Google has been in overdrive, trying to integrate Gemini and its AI capabilities into all its apps and services. Google Maps has also received its fair share, including the recent Gemini-powered upgrade to walking and cycling navigation. But there’s more coming, as we’ve now spotted Gemini being added to Google Maps’ community edit process.

One of Google Maps’ key strengths is the abundance of crowd-sourced data. Users can submit new details for locations and listings through the “Suggest an edit” feature, allowing the community to suggest changes to location, name, opening/closing hours, website, phone numbers, and more for any listing.
