    We're shipping big updates to Ask Maps!  Since we launched Ask Maps, I've been inspired to see how people are using Google Maps in totally new ways to ask the questions that are really on their minds.  Building on that, we're expanding Ask Maps to more than 150 markets in English and bringing new agentic capabilities, real-time transit information, Personal Intelligence, and more to Ask Maps. 🔹Food ordering: Order takeout in Ask Maps from partners like Square and Toast, with Uber Eats coming soon. 🔹Real-time transit info: Stay informed about up-to-the-minute delays for your bus or train ride. 🔹Personal Intelligence: Choose to securely connect Gmail, and Ask Maps will provide relevant suggestions for things to do and factor in upcoming flights and reservations. 🔹Conversational edits: Suggest tips and edits, like store hours, conversationally. This is just the start of how Ask Maps is making it easier to get things done!  More about these updates: https://lnkd.in/ekFJMhBP
