Geospatial AI apps? Now my maps can outsmart me in real-time. Impressive

literal world model

Being a business selling diagnostic AI software, we had a tough time reaching out to the diagnostic centers and the referring specialist doctors near them. I vibe coded this on aistudio to find the top diag centers in a given locality and the specialists within 5 km to each of them using the google maps API. My sales lead generation got a huge boost. @OfficialLoganK - thanks a ton...

It would be quicker to open google maps and get all that info rather 2 mins talking. Am I missing something with Grounding?

Grounding is a great example for additional correctness or normalisation and it comes really handy for Maps and also while doing search with Vertex ai

Mind blowing

It's time to unleash the power of google's entire suite

Great job!

Maps + AI = location intelligence unlocked.

@grok give me 5 top use cases for this please

@GMapsPlatform Я думаю как вы на этих новых возможностях можно заработать Кто заплатит денег?

please let ai must get the every inch of data inside google maps

Imagine the apps we can now build—context-aware travel planners, local insight tools, and more. これで作れるアプリを想像するとワクワクしますね！コンテキストに応じた旅行プランナーや地域情報ツールなど、夢が広がります。
