One of the most important features is automatic navigation using Google Maps. Now when you say to Gemini “Take me away” place name” will first show you a quick summary including the route, estimated travel time, distance, and map. After a few seconds, Gemini will automatically launch Google Maps with navigation already running.
Now Gemini also allows you to manage your schedule using voice commands. By enabling the Workspace extension (availability varies by region), you can set reminders and make calendar entries directly from Gemini. Additionally, voice commands now include auto-send; It no longer requires you to press the Send button after you make your request.
The post says that one function is still missing: music playback. Google acknowledges this, stating in the update notes that “media service providers… and third-party music providers are not currently supported on Gemini.” However, this formulation suggests that music integration may be in the future.
