Why did we choose this article?

Why did we choose this article?

Why did we choose this article?
Describes a concrete user-facing change: Gemini integration in Google Maps can plan itineraries and suggest routes, meaning everyday users get a new assistant for trip planning (with implications for convenience, privacy, and reliance on AI suggestions).
