As summer approaches, you may be planning your vacation. To help with this, Google has introduced new features, including an AI-powered tool for Maps<\/a>.<\/p>\n

By enabling the new screenshot list, Gemini<\/a> can automatically identify locations mentioned in screenshots taken within the app. You can save the places that interest you to a list, which will appear on the map, and share the list with your travel companions. This feature will be available on iOS in English in the US starting this week and will soon be available on Android.<\/p>\n

Google has long offered flight price tracking features, and now the company is expanding this to hotel pricing via its dedicated search tool<\/a>. If you have a specific destination in mind for particular dates, you can track hotel prices and receive alerts when they drop. To do this, simply tap or click the price tracker toggle underneath the search filters. If prices for any of the hotels in the results drop significantly, you’ll receive a notification via email. This feature will be available globally this week.<\/p>\n

In a blog post<\/a> announcing these updates, Google also suggests using AI Overviews in Search to help with travel planning. Starting this week with English queries in the US, the tool will offer trip planning for certain regions or whole countries. For example, if you enter “create a foodie itinerary for Japan,” AI Overviews should provide some ideas that you can export as a list of recommendations in Docs or Gmail. You can also save these suggestions in Google Maps as a custom list. While I’m not sure I’d trust a tool that doesn’t know how many days there are in a month<\/a> to come up with travel ideas for me, the option is available.<\/p>\n

On a related note, Google is expanding AI Overviews in Lens<\/a> and Circle to Search. They will soon be available in Hindi, Indonesian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, and Spanish, in most countries where AI Overviews are accessible.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
