AI Can Now Plan Your Dream Vacation

Google Search now lets you ask for a custom travel plan by typing in what kind of trip you want. For example, you can ask for a “nature-filled itinerary for Costa Rica” and get suggestions instantly.

It shows you places to visit, pictures, reviews, and a map to visualize your trip. When you’re happy with the ideas, you can easily export them to Google Docs, Gmail, or Google Maps to keep everything organized.

Maps Can Turn Screenshots Into Travel Guides

Lots of people take screenshots of places they want to visit while planning a trip. But those pictures often get lost in their phone’s gallery over time.

Now Google Maps can scan your screenshots, detect the names of the places, and add them to a list on your map. This makes it much easier to remember all the cool spots you found and helps turn random photos into a smart travel guide.
