Grounded Navigation: Google's Gemini Turns Maps into a Local Concierge

We dissect Google's March 2026 Gemini update, which makes navigation a conversational, ground-truth experience with 3D lane views, landmark-based turns, and hands-free Ask Maps. We explore how the system stays firmly grounded by cross-checking against 250 million real places and Street View, and what 'AEO' means for local businesses.   If you’ve ever frozen at a 500-foot turn, this episode will change how you travel.
