Gemini app adds deeper Maps features while swapping out Deep Think

The Gemini app is widening its Personal Intelligence feature to cover more Google Maps functionality. This change replaces Deep Think, and the feature is also arriving on Android Auto this week.
The Gemini app is extending its Personal Intelligence feature to more Google Maps functions, while the same update removes Deep Think. The summary also says the capability is arriving on Android Auto this week. These details point to a change in how Gemini’s assistant features are packaged and where they appear, but the available material does not identify which Maps functions are added or what the removal of Deep Think means for users.
The change could affect Gemini users who rely on Maps while driving or navigating, as well as Android Auto users who may encounter the feature in vehicles. Because the summary does not detail which Maps capabilities expand or why Deep Think is being removed, the practical impact remains uncertain. Broader use of assistant features in navigation could shape convenience and information access, but the available material supports only a cautious assessment.
