If you mean the “Ask Maps” feature in Google Maps, it is an AI search option that lets you ask questions directly about places instead of typing normal keywords.

Here are 5 simple steps to use it:

1️⃣ Open Google Maps

Open the Google Maps app on your phone.

2️⃣ Tap the Search Bar

At the top you will see the search bar.

3️⃣ Use “Ask Maps”

Tap the AI/Ask Maps icon (sometimes shown as a sparkle ✨ or assistant icon).

4️⃣ Ask a Question

Instead of typing a place name, ask naturally like:

“Best cafes near me”
“Petrol pumps open now”
“Restaurants with parking near me”
“Hospitals within 5 km”

5️⃣ Check Results

Maps will show locations, ratings, distance, and directions.
You can tap any place to see reviews, photos, timings, and navigation.

✅ Example questions you can ask:

“Good dosa restaurant near me”
“ATM near me”
“Places to visit in Vadodara”
“Hotels under ₹2000 nearby”
